Ingredients

  • 2 cups Pumpkin seeds
  • 3 Tablespoons Maple syrup
  • ¾ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F, and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. It can be the same one you used to dry the seeds.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the seeds, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt, until well coated.
    2 cups Pumpkin seeds, 3 Tablespoons Maple syrup, ¾ teaspoon Cinnamon , ⅛ teaspoon Salt
  • Pour the seeds out on to the parchment paper and spread into a single layer.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until fragrant and crispy. Make sure to check every 10 minutes to ensure they don't burn!
  • Remove, let cool completely, and enjoy!

Notes

  • These snacks make great gifts! Bottle them up and give them out as delicious autumn-themed snacks- just don't be surprised if people start asking for the recipe!
  • You may want to toast pumpkin seeds in the shell a little longer than seeds without the shell.
  • You can make savory roasted pumpkin seeds, too! Try out any of these great flavor combinations:
    • Chili Spice: Cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and olive oil
    • Curry: Curry powder and warmed coconut oil
    • Garlic Parmesan: Melted butter, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese
    • Brown Sugar: Melted butter and brown sugar
    • Pumpkin Pie: Pumpkin pie spices and maple syrup
    • Or a classic favorite, Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Seeds: with white sugar, cinnamon, and butter!
