Set a bowl of these delectably spiced pumpkin seeds on your bar or hors d'oeuvres table and watch as they magically disappear. All you need is a few simple easy and customizable ingredients.

Our recipes celebrate Mediterranean culture, and certainly, as home cooks and food connoisseurs raised in Spain, we have developed a deep appreciation for tapas, the small plates of appetizers and snacks that have been served in Spanish bars for centuries.

While not a traditional Spanish food, our cinnamon-ginger spiced pumpkin seeds make a great start for your own Thanksgiving tapas spread.  Serve a bowl of these freshly-warmed pumpkin seeds with a few varieties of uncorked wine and add in a tray of mixed olives, our za'atar olive tapenade, spinach and nut spread and some hot dishes like our savory  Pumpkin-Apple Bourekas and our vegan Plantain-Cheese-Stuffed Jalapenos for a great mix of salty, sweet, and spicy flavors.

How to Make Cinnamon Ginger Spiced Pumpkin Seeds

  1. Mix pumpkin seeds with oil, maple syrup and spices

2. We make our spiced pumpkin seeds with raw pumpkin seeds tossed in oil, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, black pepper and maple syrup (agave or honey may also be used.)  Once fully coated, cook on medium heat on a skillet until golden brown.

Tips on how to make different variations on spiced pumpkin seeds

Our cinnamon-ginger spiced pumpkin seeds are also a great topping for:

  • Soups
  • Salads
  • Roasted Vegetables
  • Oatmeal
  • Overnight Oats
  • Ice Cream
  • Smoothie Bowl
  • Yogurt Parfaits

You may want to try experimenting with other spice combinations like: 

  • Cumin, Coriander, and Cinnamon
  • Sweet Paprika, Turmeric, Cumin, and Coriander
  • Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Thyme and Rosemary
  • Cinnamon, Cloves, and Ginger
  • Oregano, Garlic, and Hot Pepper Flakes
  • Sumac and Zaatar

However you enjoy these spiced pumpkin seeds, you'll be glad to know that they are healthier, have less fat, and are more economical than store-bought spiced nuts.
