Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for slow and even toasting of the pumpkin seeds.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the raw pumpkin seeds with ground cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, and melted unsalted butter. Stir until the seeds are evenly coated with the mixture.
  3. Prepare baking sheet: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  4. Spread seeds: Spread the coated pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to allow even toasting.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the seeds are lightly toasted and fragrant, stirring once or twice during baking to ensure even toasting.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the seeds from the oven and let them cool before enjoying as a crunchy snack or salad topping.

Notes

  • Stir the seeds every 15 minutes while baking to prevent burning and ensure even toasting.
  • Store cooled toasted pumpkin seeds in an airtight container for up to one week.
  • For a savory twist, omit the cinnamon and brown sugar and add spices like smoked paprika or garlic powder.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if your oven runs hot or cool for perfectly toasted seeds.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled, just be sure to toast in a single layer.
