These chewy treats have a deliciously tropical flavor. To ensure that the pineapple does not overpower the other flavors, it must be diced extremely finely.

Reviews
I’m not that fond of pumpkin seeds, but this recipe received good reviews, so I tried it. to avoid getting the oily feel on the seeds, I sprayed them with avocado oil a bit and stirred to coat the seeds with spices, I would do one spray at a time and stir until most of the spices coated the seeds. popped them in the air fryer. they were done in about 25 minutes. now, I’ll have to buy another pumpkin, so I can make this again soon.
I used a brown sugar alternative and thought these were GREAT…however, OILY and a bit messy.
The end result I got to was really good, but making these was kind of a mess. I added the whole 3 T of oil, and in combination with all the sugar, it was a sticky, oily mess. After 10 minutes, I took them all off the pan and put them on a new pan with parchment paper. I cooked for a total of 45 minutes to get as crispy as I wanted. I added some salt with the mixture, and the cinnamon and curry flavor combo is fantastic.
Wanted something a little different for my small harvest from pumpkin carving.This was a hit! (adapted for air fryer, added a pinch of salt) Thanks for sharing!
