Notes
Substitutions:
Can substitute butter with coconut oil or olive oil (not extra virgin) if desired.
If using unsalted butter, add 1/2 tsp salt in lieu of 1/4 tsp salt. The salt provides a nice balance between the sweet.
Variations:
Feel free to add pumpkin pie spice for added flavor (1/2 tsp per batch).
Watch your oven temp!
Anything over 300 degrees F and the seeds will cook too quickly and you'll risk burning the spices. Try to stay between 275 degrees F and 300 degrees F for best results.
