Bacony Pepitas

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients except for the pumpkin seeds and set aside for now.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin seeds and cook 3–5 minutes, stirring continually. The seeds may puff up and some may pop. They are done when they have turned light golden brown. Be careful not to burn them.

Step 3

Turn off the heat and evenly pour the soy sauce mixture over the seeds and stir continually until all of the liquid has been soaked up. Some of the sauce will stick to the skillet; that’s okay, just keep stirring the seeds around. Once they cool they will no longer stick. Transfer the seeds to a plate to cool. After they have cooled, use your hands to break apart any that are stuck together. Serve them on your favorite salad, wrap, bowl, or soup!
