Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon tamari

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Transfer the seeds to a plate to cool. Enjoy now, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Classic tamari pumpkin seeds taste amazing, or feel free to experiment with spices and other flavors. Try them with black pepper, a dash of cayenne, ginger, cumin, or curry powder.
  • Once the seeds are cool, store in the refrigerator in an airtight storage container. I'm not sure of the exact shelf-life of tamari pumpkin seeds, but they should be fine for weeks...though, they never last that long in our house.
