Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds (raw)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option) Use coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional) Add if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. If using fresh pumpkin seeds, rinse them in water to remove any pulp or stringy bits. Skip this step for packaged seeds.
  3. Pat the pumpkin seeds dry using a kitchen towel.
  4. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter (or coconut oil), sugar, cinnamon, and salt (if using) until well combined.
  5. Toss in the cleaned and dried pumpkin seeds until they are evenly coated with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the coated pumpkin seeds in a single layer.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning.
  8. Once roasted, remove from the oven and allow the pumpkin seeds to cool.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Freeze for longer storage but be aware they might lose some crunch.
