Here are two different pumpkin seed recipes to get you in the fall spirit. Whether it be sweet or salty, this pumpkin seed recipe is sure to become your go-to snack for the rest of this holiday season.
Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Pumpkin Seeds
Ingredients
Instructions
Take your pumpkin seeds and place them in a bowl. Rinse the pumpkin seeds with water. After the seeds are clean, place the seeds on a paper towel and dry them.
Once the seeds are dry, spread them out on an oven-safe pan. Pour the melted butter over the seeds with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a bit of sea salt. Mix all of the ingredients together so the seeds are evenly coated.
Preheat your oven to 300° Fahrenheit. Once your oven is heated, place the seeds inside it for about 25 minutes or until they are roasted to your liking. For crunchier seeds be sure to leave them in the oven for a longer time.
When the seeds are to your liking, take them out of the oven and let them cool for about 2 minutes. Feel free to sprinkle some more cinnamon or brown sugar for extra sweetness.
