Ingredients

1 cup raw pumpkin seeds rinsed and dried
1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional, for extra flavor

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Rinse fresh pumpkin seeds to remove pulp, then dry well.
In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter with optional vanilla extract. Add the pumpkin seeds and toss well to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle over butter-coated seeds and toss again.
Spread coated seeds in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Once seeds are golden brown and crispy, cool on the baking sheet completely before enjoying or storing in an airtight container.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
