Ingredients
-
1
egg white
-
1/3 cup
honey
-
1/2 tsp
salt
-
2 cups
raw, shelled
pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Whisk the egg white in a medium bowl until foamy. Mix in honey and salt, then add pumpkin seeds. Toss until the seeds are coated.
- Tip the contents of the bowl onto a rimmed cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, and spread evenly into a thin layer.
- Roast in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 30-35 minutes until golden and glossy, checking the seeds a few times to make sure they don’t burn. (If they’re getting too brown, stir them a bit.)
- Allow to cool in the pan before breaking into clusters. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
