Cinnamon & Sugar Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

I’ll admit it. Cleaning out a pumpkin in order to carve it is not my favorite thing. I happily relinquish that job to my dear husband, who doesn’t mind getting in up to his elbows with stringy orange pumpkin guts. I, on the other hand, am perfectly content to help carve and serve treats! The big pumpkin-carving payoff for me is not just the adorable pumpkins that will line our front porch, but comes in the form of toasted pumpkin seeds! I remember these from my childhood, and now I love to make them for my own kids.

Cinnamon & Sugar Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

I always make them the “original” way—with spices and seasonings—but years ago I started experimenting, and now I have a new favorite that I make in addition to the original. Cinnamon & sugar pumpkin seeds are…oh my goodness, so yummy! They’re crunchy from both the pumpkin seed and crusted cinnamon & sugar, and buttery from the melted butter they’re rolled in before baking. Making two kinds means there is something for everyone—both sweet & salty!

Lots of help is needed in the kitchen for these, and kids love to help rinse seeds, spread them out on foil, and pat them dry. It makes it go much faster, and they feel invested in this yummy treat.

You can make as many or as few as you like, and they’re perfect for school lunches, serving in bowls to guests at a party, or even wrapping up in cute sacks as fun fall gifts!

They are SO yummy, and the perfect fall snack!
