Easy Tamari Pumpkin Seeds
Description
The preparation involves heating a heavy skillet over medium-low heat and toasting the pumpkin seeds in a single layer. They are stirred frequently, especially as they begin to pop, to prevent burning. Once they achieve a golden color, tamari is drizzled around the pan and stirred in quickly to coat the seeds evenly.
This method produces seeds that are crisp and infused with the salty depth of tamari. The seeds can be enjoyed immediately or cooled and stored. Their balance of nutty and savory notes makes them suitable for snacking or adding a flavorful crunch to salads and dishes.
The recipe invites experimentation by adding spices like black pepper, cayenne, or curry powder to adjust the flavor profile. Proper cooling and refrigeration extend shelf life, keeping the seeds fresh for weeks.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds raw
- 1 tablespoon tamari
Instructions
- Heat a large (12-inch), heavy-bottomed saute pan or cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Once hot, add pumpkin seeds in a single layer.
- Stir the pumpkin seeds occasionally. Once they begin to pop, stir more frequently so they don't burn. If the seeds are browning too quickly, reduce heat to low.
- Stirring frequently, cook until most of the seeds are golden, 7 to 10 minutes depending on how hot the pan is. Drizzle the tamari around the pan, and immediately stir to distribute.
- Transfer the seeds to a plate to cool. Enjoy now, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Experiment with spices such as black pepper, cayenne, ginger, cumin, or curry powder for varied flavor.
- Store cooled seeds in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for several weeks.
