I used this recipe to make pumpkin seeds. I used only the 1/2 cup white sugar, left the brown out completely, added also a little bit of chili powder to the mix. Bakes at 325 degrees for the same amount of time, stirring often. Turns out well. Do recommend to place on a well greased cookie sheet as it gets sticky. Will use this recipe again with my adjustments. Didnt give a star rating which is well worth five, because I had adjusted the recipe.

These cannot bake as long as directed. After 15 minutes, I had several burnt pecans. I recommend baking for a total of 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Also, I would add a little more cinnamon for more flavor.
