Zataar Spiced Roast Pumpkin Seeds
- 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds, pumpkin membranes removed, washed and pat dry
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons zataar spice
- Flaked sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried fennel seeds
- A few sprigs fresh thyme
Heat oven to 300. Place pumpkin seeds in a mixing bowl. Add melted butter and olive oil and toss well to coat. Season with zataar spice and a generous pinch sea salt. Add fennel and thyme. Toss well and turn out onto a parchment lined baking sheet - spreading seeds with hands to create a single layer. Roast until seeds are golden brown and crunchy, about 45 minutes. Use a spatula to turn seeds several times during cooking. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
