Pumpkin Seeds Crisps (Tuiles)
Pumpkin seeds crisps (tuiles)
Anything crunchy or crispy can be very addictive. That’s why crisps, or tuiles, are selling very well. Why not make your own one? It’s healthier and taste better, free from preservatives and additives, too. Homemade food is always the best. Pumpkin Seeds Crisps (Tuiles) is one crisp that I made every now and then for my family. It’s very delicious and addictive. Well, at least it’s quite a comfort to know that it’s a healthy crisp. Sometimes I use sunflower seeds or almond flakes.

I made this last week for a few friends whom I invited over to my place for a simple Chinese New Year lunch. Martha, the lovely lady who made the most impressive strawberry jelly for our Chinese New Year Women’s Hot Pot Party liked it so much that she wanted me to post the recipe as soon as possible as she wants to make them. Of course I would, hopefully in return for some strawberry jelly…haha.
So here is the recipe…..simple and easy.
Ingredients
2 egg whites
100g sugar
1/4t vanilla
50g plain flour
100g pumpkin seeds
2T butter (melted)
Batter with pumpkin seeds
Mix the egg white and the sugar. Add the vanilla, flour and mix well. Finally add the seeds and melted butter and mix. You can adjust the sugar and amount of seeds according to your preference.
Ready to go into the oven
Spoon onto paper-lined baking trays and spread it out thin. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for about 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness, or until crisps. Do not overbake. Cool and enjoy.

Blackswan on March 2nd, 2010
OMG! This looks so yummy! Can I fry it instead? I’ve no oven to bake. LOL!
Little Inbox on March 2nd, 2010
With oven baked, this is much more healthy!
Christine @ Fresh Local and Best on March 2nd, 2010
These crisps look quite intriguing and delicious!
Selena Ze Arteest on March 3rd, 2010
Oh I am a kind of addicted of pumpkin and sunflower seeds. And peanut is my love since my childhood.
tia on March 3rd, 2010
ooh they look so buttery and enticing. wow, send some this way!
Mary on March 3rd, 2010
@Janice - Give a try. I have been eating a lot and have just made another batch.
@Juliana - Thanks very much, Juliana!
@joey - Thanks very much, Joey!
@hopeeternal - Thanks very much for visiting and comment! Have fun trying
@Christine@Christine’s Recipes - I’m sure your friends would love you for that You will become popular…haha
@Faith - You are most welcome. Have fun making
@Kathleen - Thanks very much, Kathleen!
@Zibi - Thanks very much. Have fun baking!
@Blackswan - I have not tried frying it. I suppose you can. I would spread it thinly on a non-stick pan to fry a little while first and then transfer to a pot of oil to fry until crisp. The only thing is it will be more oily but I’m sure it will taste very delicious too. Otherwise, time to get an oven!
@Little Inbox - Yes, more healthy baked. For me, my kitchen is cleaner, too
@Christine @ Fresh Local and Best - They are….very delicious and addictive. I’ve just made another batch and will be munching away today
@Selena Ze Arteest - Thanks very much for visiting and comment. Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and peanuts are all healthy food, so that’s good addiction!
@tia - I wish I can send you some but I would prefer you to come so that we can have another all women’s party It would be more food and more fun

What a clever, clever idea! Crispy and crunchy. A winner!

I get pumpkin seeds at Fred Meyer in their bulk bins. They are very inexpensive, and so delicious. I can’t wait to try this. Right up my alley, a healthier treat!
Anju on March 3rd, 2010
Am sure it tasted as good as it looks. They look so pretty.
xiaoyen on March 3rd, 2010
This is by far the simpliest and easiest cookie recipe I have come across. I just need to convert the grams to the U.S. measurement metric. We use spoons and cups.
Mary on March 3rd, 2010
@kristy - Awww….thanks very much for the award! You’ve made my day Really appreciate very much! I’ll tell my friend about her jelly recipe.
@The Little Teochew - Thanks very much for your lovely compliment!
@Kristi Rimkus - Wow….I wish I can get that too. They are actually very delicious too just plain baked with a sprinkle of salt. Great as snacks….but addictive too Have fun trying!
@Anju - Thanks very much, Anju! Give a try. They are very delicious.
@xiaoyen - Yes, this recipe is very simple and easy. That’s what Ilike I love using cups and spoons but sometimes I also use the metric system.

Mary on March 4th, 2010
@Catherine - Thanks very much, Catherine!
@tigerfish - I love to snack on them too. The aroma and the crunch is very gratifying At least it’s a very healthy snack
@tasteofbeirut - Give this a try. Add coconut (use less) instead of the pumpkin seeds. Would love to hear how it goes.
grace on March 4th, 2010

I’ll have to make these next time I have pumpkin seeds leftover from pumpkin baking! Love the look of the little green surprises inside
Mary on March 6th, 2010
@Conor @ HoldtheBeef - That’s so wonderful to have your own pumpkin seeds from baking pumpkin. I just buy ready ones. Maybe I should try the butternut squash seeds next time. I love to see the green seeds, too
Shirley on March 8th, 2010
