Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sweet Vanilla Cinnamon Roasted Pumpkin Seeds.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 275°F (135°C). This low temperature will help the seeds roast evenly and become perfectly crunchy.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, toss the rinsed and dried pumpkin seeds with the melted butter, ensuring each seed is well-coated. This buttery goodness is what makes them irresistible!
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of white sugar. This sweet blend will add a delightful flavor to your seeds. Stir in the vanilla extract to create a fragrant mixture.
Step 4
Sprinkle this sugary mixture over the buttered seeds, stirring gently to coat them evenly. You want every seed to bask in that sweet goodness!
Step 5
Spread the coated seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. This ensures they roast evenly and get that perfect crunch.
Step 6
For an extra touch of flavor, combine another teaspoon of vanilla sugar with a teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle it over the seeds before they go into the oven.
Step 7
Bake the seeds in your preheated oven for 30 minutes. After this time, take them out, give them a good stir, and spread them out again on the baking sheet. This helps them roast evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the seeds with another teaspoon of the vanilla sugar and cinnamon mixture, then return them to the oven for an additional 30 minutes. The aroma will be heavenly!
Step 9
Once they’re done, take the seeds out of the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla sugar over them. Pop them back in the oven for just 5 more minutes to let that sugar melt into a sweet glaze.
Step 10
Finally, remove the seeds from the oven, pour them into a serving bowl, and enjoy them warm. These sweet vanilla cinnamon pumpkin seeds are perfect for snacking, topping salads, or adding to your favorite dishes.
