    Masala Spiced Pumpkin Seeds Recipe

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    A masala spiced pumpkin seeds recipe! Remember when I went to the pumpkin patch and roasted pumpkin seeds with my kids? This was the other pumpkin seed recipe we whipped up. With ghee, sea salt, and garam masala, this keto-friendly snack just screams Fall with it's warm, comforting flavors.

    Don't forget to PIN it for later!

    Garam Masala Pumpkin Seeds - Spicy, Roasted, Low Carb Snack

    What is garam masala?

    Garam masala is one of my favorite seasonings. It's a really common Indian spice used in a variety of cuisines. Though, it's not just one spice in and of itself; it's actually a blend of ground spices.

    Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, mace, peppercorns, coriander, and cumin. Seeing as I adore each of these flavors individually, it's no wonder garam masala has become one of my go-to's. It's warm and spicy, but not spicy "hot". More like the kind of spicy that gives pumpkin pie its unmistakable flavor.

    The Masala Spiced Pumpkin Seeds Recipe

    My masala spiced pumpkin seeds are very similar to my roasted pumpkin seeds recipe but with a couple small changes: a little less salt and a whole lotta garam masala. We actually prepared the two at the same time, in the same casserole dish and everything. It's funny how just one ingredient can completely transform a recipe; the taste is completely different!

    I used ghee to keep it dairy free, but feel free to use butter instead!
