How to Make Seasoning for Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds taste great with just a little salt sprinkled on them, but seasonings help add spice or sweetness. Seasoned pumpkin seeds taste great alone or thrown into trail mix. Making your own pumpkin seed seasoning requires butter, oil or some other liquid, and whatever flavors you like best.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Choose which liquid base you want for the pumpkin seed seasoning. Melted butter, oil, egg whites or cooking spray all work well with various spices. Add more intense flavor with soy or Worcestershire sauce.

2. Pour the oil, butter, egg whites or sauces into a small bowl. Stir the butter or egg whites a little so there are no lumps.

3. Mix flavors such as brown sugar and cinnamon, taco seasoning and hot pepper powder, garlic and onion salts, cheesy popcorn topping, cocoa powder, ginger and cinnamon, or cayenne pepper and sea salt into the butter, oil or egg whites.

4. Stir the seasoning mixture together until well blended. Taste the seasoning with your finger before pouring it on the pumpkin seeds to see if it needs more spices.

5. Dump the seasoning mixture onto the pumpkin seeds and stir well. Let the pumpkin seeds sit a few minutes to absorb the flavor and then roast them in the oven.

Tips & Warnings

• Reduce calories by using cooking spray instead of butter on the pumpkin seeds. Make your seasoning mixture, spray the pumpkin seeds down and pour on the spices.
• Create new tastes by mixing flavors you think would taste good together. Use pre-made sauces and popcorn toppings on pumpkin seeds to achieve different flavors.
