Ingredients

1 cup pepitas (raw pumpkin seeds without shells, they should be green)
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cover a cookie sheet in aluminum foil and spray with a little olive oil.
Put the pepitas into a medium bowl and cover in maple syrup. Mix. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, and mix.
Pour the pepitas onto an aluminum foil lined baking sheet, and spread them out.
Bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove the roasted pepitas from the oven and let cool. Gently break off the pepitas from the aluminum foil.

Notes

Make sure you are using pepitas, and not pumpkin seeds. Pepitas are pumpkin seeds but without the shell.

Gently break off the roasted pepitas from the aluminum foil. They can stick to it a little bit.

Season them with the spices of your choice. You can use pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves or a mixture of them.

Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week.
