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.
