Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
What should you do with all those pumpkin seeds from your carved pumpkins? Why, roast them, of course. Usually people enjoy them as a savory snack, but in our house we like to sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar over our pumpkin seeds.

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Seeds from 1 pumpkin
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • Butter-flavored cooking spray

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Rinse pumpkin seeds in a colander and dry with kitchen paper. Spread pumpkin seeds in one layer on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over seeds. Spray briefly with cooking spray.

Roast for 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
