Toasted Cinnamon Pumpkin Seeds Recipe

This recipe is a fantastic way to use up the seeds from Halloween pumpkins.

Prep time: 20 min.

Cook time: 2 hours

Ready in: 2 hours, 20 min.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1. Prepare the pumpkin seeds

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Scoop the seeds out of the inside of a pumpkin. Separate the pulp from the seeds.

2. Roast the seeds

Lay the seeds out on a baking sheet. Bake for around one hour to dry out the seeds. When they are completely dry, remove them from the oven.

3. Season the seeds

Melt the butter and drizzle it onto the seeds. Add the sugar, salt and cinnamon. Toss the seeds to make sure that they are all coated with the mixture.

4. Toast the seeds

Lay the seeds out on a baking sheet, making sure that they are as even as possible. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring regularly to ensure that they toast evenly.

For extra flavor, leave some of the pulp on the pumpkin seeds. Increasing the amount of cinnamon to 1 teaspoon and adding 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg can also add some extra spice.
