It’s that time of year again—your front porch looks like a pumpkin army rolled through town, and your kitchen smells like cinnamon decided to move in permanently. Whether you’re carving pumpkins, painting them, or just hoarding them for your seasonal Instagram aesthetic, one thing is clear: you’ve got a lot of pumpkin guts.
Every year, I tell myself I’m going to make some fancy Pinterest-worthy pumpkin craft, but instead, I end up with half-scooped pumpkins, a countertop covered in slimy seeds, and a realization that I’m better at eating pumpkins than decorating them. So, what do you do with all those seeds? Enter: Pumpkin Spice Honey-Roasted Pumpkin Seeds—the snack that’s as cozy as your fall sweater and as crunchy as the leaves you’re about to rake.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh pumpkin seeds (washed and dried)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp Spice Witch Pumpkin Spice Honey (for drizzling)
Instructions
-
Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper because sticky pans are not festive. -
Season the Seeds:
In a bowl, toss the clean and dry pumpkin seeds with olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and a pinch of salt. Make sure every seed gets a little love. -
Spread & Bake:
Spread the seeds out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy. -
Cool Down:
Let the seeds cool completely. If you’re like me, this is the hardest step—waiting for snacks is an underrated life challenge. -
Drizzle Magic:
Once the seeds are cool, drizzle them generously with Spice Witch Pumpkin Spice Honey. Toss lightly to coat or leave the honey pooled in little golden puddles for extra flavor bursts.
These crunchy, sweet, and spicy seeds are perfect for snacking, topping soups, or sprinkling over your morning yogurt (yes, pumpkin season lasts all day). And just like that, you’ve transformed pumpkin guts into a gourmet treat—because who says you need to carve the perfect pumpkin to have the perfect fall snack? 🍂🎃
