Toasted Pumpkin Seeds Teriyaki Cajun Style

Directions

Ingredients :

2 cups raw whole pumpkin seeds

2 tablespoons butter

melted

1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon seasoned salt

¾ teaspoon teriyaki sauce

or to taste

1 pinch salt (Optional)

Methods :

Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper; set aside in a cool, dry place and allow to dry overnight, turning seeds a time or two during several hours of drying.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Mix melted butter, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, seasoned salt, and teriyaki sauce in a bowl; toss the pumpkin seeds in the seasoned butter to coat. Set seasoned pumpkin seeds aside for 5 minutes to absorb flavors. Spread seeds onto a baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until seeds are browned and fragrant, 45 minutes to 1 hour; stir after 30 minutes. Remove and let cool until seeds stop making a popping noise; sprinkle with salt if desired.
