Pumpkin Seed Crisps

Roasted pumpkin seeds taste good

I had a bunch of pumpkin seeds and I needed to come up with ways to consume them. Pumpkin seeds are known to be a good source of tryptophan and glutamate which are helpful in reducing anxiety and irritability. But who cares what they are good for when they just taste so good anyway?

Make them as thin as you can

Pumpkin Seed Crisps

1 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds, unsalted
2 egg white
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp butter melted
2 1/2 Tbsp cake flour
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract

Preheat oven to 300. In a bowl, combine pumpkin seeds, egg white, sugar, butter, flour, vanilla extract and almond extract. Chill the mixture in the fridge for a couple of hours. Spread the mixture about a teaspoon full at a time with the back of a spoon on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread them thinly and evenly so they come out crispy. Bake for 18 minutes till crispy. If they still feel sticky and soft, lower the temp to 220 or so and bake for another 5-10 minutes. The moisture will evaporate and they will be nice and crispy.
