Recipe type: Snack/Dessert
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 t. pure maple syrup
  • 2 t. coconut sugar
  • 1 t. vanilla extract
  • ½ t. water or apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch cardamom
  • Pinch sea salt
  • ½ cup raw pumpkin seeds
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  2. In a measuring cup or small bowl, stir together all ingredients except seeds.
  3. Add the seeds and stir to coat, then transfer them to a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet. Press the seeds down as well as you can with the back of a spoon, leaving as few holes between seeds as possible.
  4. Bake 13-15 minutes. Remove from oven, and press down seeds more to create a fairly even layer, about 2 seeds thick.
  5. Allow to cool completely, then break or cut into shards. Serve with ice cream, or eat the crackle as a nutritious snack. Store at room temperature in an air-tight container, up to one week.
Notes
I kept this recipe simple because I served it with a flavorful ice cream, but feel free to add cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, or any other spices you like!
