Low FODMAP Salted Caramel Pumpkin Seeds
These salted caramel pumpkin seeds are highly addictive and make a great low FODMAP treat. I like using them as a topping for low FODMAP porridge or ice cream!

Method
- Preheat the oven to 150ºC (300ºF) bake function.
- In a large bowl mix the pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and white sugar along with the water (you want the pumpkin seeds to be damp so the sugar and spices stick).
- Line a large roasting tray with baking paper and grease with a little bit of cooking oil. Then evenly spread the pumpkin seeds across the tray. Place in the oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until the pumpkin seeds are slightly golden and crunchy. Stir once while baking.
- Just as the pumpkin seeds finish cooking, place a large saucepan over medium heat. Melt the butter or dairy free spread, then mix through the brown sugar, white sugar and salt. Allow to cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it is a deep golden brown, then turn down the heat to low. Gently mix pumpkin seeds through the salted caramel sauce until they are evenly coated. Then transfer the pumpkin seeds back into the roasting tray and allow to cool.
- Enjoy! I love eating these as a treat or using them as a topping on ice cream, porridge or custard.
- Note: Once the pumpkin seeds have cooled, store them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Buying Tips
There are no FODMAP buying tips for this recipe.
Gluten Free Tips
Herbs and spices are naturally gluten free, however they can become contaminated during manufacturing processes. If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check the dried herbs and spices do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.
If you are highly sensitive to gluten, check all packaged products, processed meat (like bacon), nuts, seeds and dried fruit do not contain a warning for trace gluten. If you are just on the low FODMAP diet you do not need to worry about this.
Dairy Free Tips
Use a dairy free spread or olive oil spread instead of butter. Butter is considered low FODMAP.
