Ingredients

Spiced Candied Pumpkin Seeds

  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds, roasted and salted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Salad

  • 2 bunches dinosaur kale
  • 1 small apple
  • 2 ounces gouda cheese

Instructions

  • Add all of the spice candied pumpkin seed ingredients in to a sauce pan and place it over medium heat. Continually stir until the sugar had melted and started to coat the seeds. About 5 minutes. Remove the seeds from the heat and spread them out over parchment paper.
  • While the seeds are cooling prep the salad. Chop the dinosaur kale and add it to your salad bowl. Thinly slice or dice the apple and add it on top of the kale. Shave 2 ounces of gouda over the salad and top with the spiced candied pumpkin seeds. Give this a mix along with your favorite vinaigrette and serve.
