1.Preheat the oven to 150 Degrees Celsius. Spread the raw pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until golden and slightly crispy. Allow them to cool.
2.In a food processor, blend the roasted pumpkin seeds until they form a smooth paste.
3.Add honey or maple syrup for sweetness, a pinch of salt, and ground cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger to taste.
4.Blend until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
