Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups pumpkin seeds or other squash seeds, washed off and dried
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350.  
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seeds out.  Drizzle with the salt, brown sugar, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and vanilla extract.  Toss to combine and spread out in a thin layer. 
  • Bake for about 10 minutes, then start watching them.  They will take about another 5-10 minutes to get golden. 
  • Let cool and store in an airtight container. 

Notes

A flavored vinegar - like cranberry walnut is also good in place of the balsamic.
