Cinnamon-Sugar Pumpkin Seeds

Discover the power of pepitas! These shell-less pumpkin seeds are not just a treat for the tastebuds, but also a nutritional powerhouse.
Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup raw pepitas
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the pepitas and oil and toss with a spoon to coat. Add the cinnamon, sugar, and salt and mix to combine. Lay the mixture out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 10 minutes.
  • If you’d like them a bit toastier and crunchier, remove from the oven, shake the seeds around, then put back in the oven for another 2 to 4 minutes. Watch closely so they don’t burn. Let cool and enjoy.

Notes

A serving is ¼ cup.
