Ingredients
- 2-3 cups pumpkin seeds from 2 carving pumpkins
- 2 Tablespoons butter melted
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° convection bake.
- Remove as much of the orange pulp from the seeds as you can. Don't worry about removing all the pulp, it's actually delicious when roasted.
- In a bowl or glass measuring cup, melt butter in the microwave, then mix in the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt and coat seeds completely with the mixture, use your hands!
- Spread seeds on a sheet pan, you can line it with parchment paper or not, and bake. Check and stir after 15 minutes, then every 5 minutes after that. They should take about 25 to 40 minutes total. Allow to cool and store in a jar or airtight container on the counter for 1 to 2 weeks.
Notes
- The cooking time can vary depending on how wet the seeds are, and the seed's size. Check often after 25 minutes, when they look a little toasty, they're done. Don't burn!
- Seeds will crisp up more as they cool!
