Cinnamon Spice Pepitas

1 cup of fresh pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1/2 teaspoon coconut oil; or olive oil; or grapeseed oil 
2 teaspoons of honey
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon salt
A pinch of finely ground black pepper***

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Line parchment paper in a baking sheet.

Combine coconut oil, honey, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl.

Add pepitas (fresh pumpkin seeds) to the mixture and toss until evenly coated.

Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing the seeds every 15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

*** I don’t know about anyone else, but I like my food well-seasoned. I like adding black pepper because it adds to the heat.
