Nut-Free Candied Pumpkin Seed Topping

Ingredients

• 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. 1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
2. 2. Once the sugar is dissolved, add the pumpkin seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan, stirring to coat the seeds evenly.
3. 3. Continue cooking the mixture on medium heat, stirring frequently, until the liquid thickens and begins to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes.
4. 4. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Once the pumpkin seeds are well-coated and the mixture is sticky, pour them onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. 5. Spread the seeds in an even layer and let them cool completely before breaking them apart and using as a topping.
