Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Stir cumin, turmeric, cayenne, pepper, and sea salt together. In a medium bowl, toss pumpkin seeds with olive oil and spice blend. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until very lightly browned. In the meantime, heat the coconut oil (or butter) and sugar over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add pecan halves, and cook, stirring often (this mixture can easily start to burn, so be very mindful of keeping the nuts moving), until sugar mixture has coated the pecans and they’re lightly toasted.
