INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Heat oil and pumpkin seeds in a large skillet over medium, stirring occasionally, until oil is melted and pumpkin seeds are just starting to turn golden, about 3 minutes.

Transfer seeds and oil to a large bowl and add almond butter, maple syrup, salt, and Aleppo-style pepper. Stir vigorously until smooth; let cool.
