Crumbs: Cinnamon-sugar roasted pumpkin seeds

Here’s what to do with those pumpkin seeds

It’s (almost) Halloween! All of us have been carving our pumpkins and celebrating Halloween in our own socially-distanced ways.  

For this week’s crumbs, here’s a delicious option for those pumpkin seeds. As you can see the ingredients don’t have full amounts because these recipes can be made with as many seeds as you want.  

Ingredients:  

  • Pumpkin seeds  
  • Cinnamon  
  • Sugar 

Directions:  

  1. Remove pumpkin seeds from all pumpkin “guts” as best as you can after carving.  
  1. Use a strainer to wash them out. Lay out all seeds and let them fully dry for a few hours.  
  1. Once dried, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  
  1. Mix together your cinnamon and sugar, make sure you have enough to coat the seeds with as much toppings as you want.  
  1. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and evenly lay out the seeds.  
  1. Sprinkle the seeds with the cinnamon sugar blend. You can coat the seeds with coconut oil to add more flavor but that’s up to you.  
  1. Bake the seeds in the oven for 10 minutes, take them out and flip them over. Let bake for another 10 minutes or until they are browned.  
  1. Let cool and enjoy.
