Toasted Pumpkin Seeds Teriyaki Cajun Style Recipe

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds Teriyaki Cajun Style Recipe

  • 2 cups raw whole pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon teriyaki sauce, or to taste
  • 1 pinch salt (optional)
  1. Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper; set aside in a cool, dry place and allow to dry overnight, turning seeds a time or two during several hours of drying.
  2. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  3. Mix melted butter, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, seasoned salt, and teriyaki sauce in a bowl; toss the pumpkin seeds in the seasoned butter to coat. Set seasoned pumpkin seeds aside for 5 minutes to absorb flavors. Spread seeds onto a baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until seeds are browned and fragrant, 45 minutes to 1 hour; stir after 30 minutes. Remove and let cool until seeds stop making a popping noise; sprinkle with salt if desired.
