Ingredients

2 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup water
1 pinch salt
2 cups unsalted raw pumpkin seeds

Directions

1 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2 Combine sugar, water, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved and turned a golden brown color. Immediately add pumpkin seeds and mix well to coat with the caramelized sugar.
3 Spread the very hot pumpkin seed mix thinly onto the prepared baking sheet. Let cool to room temperature. Break or cut into bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container in a cool place or in the refrigerator.
