  • 1tbsp olive oil
  • 1tbsp maple syrup
  • ¼tsp salt

Method

Put a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add the seeds to the pan and toast them until they start to pop, then add the oil followed by the maple syrup. As the maple syrup lightly caramelises over the seeds and any liquid evaporates, turn off the heat and add a pinch of salt. Set the pumpkin seeds aside to cool, then transfer to a clean jar and seal until ready to use.
