Ingredients
- 1 cup unhulled pumpkin seeds, raw
- 1 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350F. Try to remove as much pulp from the seeds as possible and then combine then with the kosher salt in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain and spread the seeds out on a kitchen towel to dry off for 10 minutes.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Toss the seeds with the olive oil and spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Toast for 10 minutes and then stir. Combine sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
-
Toast for 10 minutes more and remove from the oven. The seeds will be done when they are golden brown and smell nutty.
-
When the seeds are browned to your liking, toss with the sugar and cinnamon. Cool on the baking sheet and enjoy in salads or as a snack.
