SUGAR & SPICE ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS
I found the basis for this recipe on All Recipes.com, posted there by Jani. I liked the idea but felt it needed some changes to fit my family's taste. It's a sweet, pumpkin pie spiced flavor with a hint of salt that we really enjoyed. I'm posting my version here for safe keeping because we all want to make this again next year.

SUGAR & SPICE PUMPKIN SEEDS
Great snack and gift for Christmas. You could substitute any kind of nut for the pumpkin seeds, but I think the pumpkin seeds are a little more unusual and intersting.

- Contine to bake the seeds until they are dry, about 10- 15 more minutes.
- These will store well for about a week at room temperature.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, raw pumpkin seeds. Roasted pumpkin seeds that come in a bag may already be salted or seasoned, which can alter the flavor of the finished product.
- Be sure to rinse the pumpkin seeds thoroughly before roasting them. This will remove any dirt or debris that may be clinging to the seeds.
- To get evenly roasted pumpkin seeds, spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the seeds will steam instead of roast.
- Roast the pumpkin seeds at a high temperature. This will help them to brown and crisp up. Keep a close eye on the seeds while they're roasting, so they don't burn.
- Once the pumpkin seeds are roasted, let them cool completely before storing them. This will help them to stay crispy.
