What you have been doing is good. The version I did has a sweet/salty flavor, and it tastes really good. It’s just up to your taste!

Hi!
The spices are really good with the pumpkin seeds–it makes kind of a sweet/salty snack! The orange pumpkin has a tougher skin and less pumpkin flesh than a cooking pumpkin. I have a Playlist on bettyskitchen home page of Betty’s Holiday Dinner Menu Suggestions–those are the types of things I fix for Thanksgiving and for Christmas! Thanks for your questions!

Hi Betty, I like your recipe with pumpkin seeds.
I always baked the seeds just with salt.
and also would plant the seeds in our school
garden. I will try this next year to put in the
sugar and the spices. Thanks for your recipe.
chuchu7s I didn’t know about a cooking pumpkin
what’s the difference with the orange pumpkin?
What kind of recipes are you going to have for
Christmas?

Thanks for your lovely comment! Yes, allspice will be fine as a replacement for the pumpkin pie spice!

Betty thanks for posting this!!
I have always trown my pumpkin seeds away with the pulp, shalln’t be doing that again.
The dumb thing is that then I buy roasted pumpkin seeds from the store to sprinkle on my salads and soups!!
I’ve never had them sweet, they look good, I’ll try them one day.
I live in Spain and I can’t get pumpkin pie spices, do you think “all spice” would be a good substitute?

Thanks! They are different from the pumpkin seeds that just have oil and salt. These are salty and sweet. I just eat a few at a time…They are quite tasty! Thanks (as always) for your lovely comment!

Hi Betty,
I just wanted to thank you for posting this delicious recipe! I just made them today and both my husband and I love them. We’ll be saving our pumpkin seeds to make these for sure.

I’ve always loved toasted pumpkin seeds but I’ve never had them in a sweetened form like this so this will certainly be fun to try. Thanks for sharing Betty =)

No, this didn’t come from my family. I have read lots of cookbooks as a hobby over the years, and somewhere I ran across the idea of spicing the toasted pumpkins, and we really love the sweet/salty combination! Thanks for your comment!

Is this a recipe passed down in your family? We don’t make them like that up here in Minnesota.
Your recipe is a great idea!!! They look delicious!!

You know, I was going to cook the pumpkin and do pumpkin bread and/or pumpkin pie, but I don’t think most of my viewers would go to that trouble when they can open a can of pumpkin. I decided to make a treat that can be done easily and enjoyed by adult and kids, as well! (Pumpkin pie will come later!) Thanks for your (always) lovely comments!

My son loved these seeds. He thought it was a little weird at first but the taste won him over.
