Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon-Spiced Roasted Pumpkin Seeds.
Step 1
To start your delicious pumpkin seed journey, grab a pot and bring some water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once it’s bubbling, toss in your pumpkin seeds along with a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Let this mixture boil for a moment before reducing the heat to low.
Step 4
Now, let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes, allowing the seeds to soften and soak up that salty goodness.
Step 5
After they’re tender, strain the seeds, discarding the water, and give them a gentle pat with a towel to dry them off.
Step 6
Next, it’s time to preheat your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 7
While that’s warming up, lightly grease a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Spread your pumpkin seeds out in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they have plenty of room to roast evenly.
Step 9
Now, sprinkle a delightful mix of sugar, cinnamon, and ginger over the seeds, ensuring each one gets a touch of that sweet and spicy flavor.
Step 10
Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the magic happen! Stir the seeds every 10 minutes to help them roast evenly and release their wonderful aroma.
Step 11
In about 40 minutes, you’ll be rewarded with perfectly fragrant, roasted pumpkin seeds that are sure to be a hit.
Step 12
Enjoy your tasty creation as a snack or a crunchy topping for salads and soups!.
