Oh So Sweet Pumpkin Seeds

These are delicious and quite different than the usual salted pumpkin seed recipes. The seeds are instead sweet and buttery…hmmm. I’ll give you the recipe so you can enjoy all season long!

  • 4 cups pumpkin seeds, rinsed and dried
  • 1/2 cup margarine, melted
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup white sugar, divided

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. Combine the pumpkin seeds, margarine, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl; stir to coat the seeds. Spread the seeds in a single layer in a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan.

3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; stir and return to oven for 15 minutes more; remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over the seeds; stir to coat. Return to oven and bake another 15 minutes before removing again to sprinkle with remaining sugar and stirring. Bake another 15 minutes. Allow to cool before serving. Store leftover seeds in an airtight container.
