Sweet and Salty Pumpkin Seeds
This year I wanted to try a sweet spin on pumpkin seeds, ya know since that’s kinda my thing. Also, I couldn’t stop thinking about my sweet and salty snack mix. So I made some sweet and salty pumpkin seeds. Very fall of me. Butter, salt, brown sugar and cinnamon. That’s it.
Ingredients
1 and 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment or a Silpat. Set aside.
2. If you are using pumpkin seeds straight from a pumpkin, make sure they are rinsed and dried thoroughly. You can also use raw pumpkin seeds that you can buy at the store, makes things much easier.
3. In a medium size bowl, stir together melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the pumpkin seeds and mix all together so they are thoroughly covered.
4. Spread seeds evenly on the sheet pan in a single layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then flip/stir seeds around. Then bake again for 5 minutes at a time until they are golden and crispy. (I baked mine for 20 min total). Careful because they can burn quickly.
