Candied Pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

INGREDIENTS

1 egg white
¼ cup caster sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
70 grams pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 170˚C.

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and combine well with a fork. Do not beat the egg white till frothy.

Spread evenly on a lined baking tray and bake for 5-6 minutes turning once during cooking.

The nuts will be very sticky when turning but will become crisp when cooled. Break into pieces when cold.
