Ingredients

• 2 Cups raw whole pumpkin seeds
• 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
• 0.5 Cups white sugar, divided
• 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon, divided

Steps

1. Remove all the pulp and strings from the pumpkin seeds, then wash and thoroughly dry the seeds.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Place the melted butter in a bowl, toss the seeds in the butter to coat, and pour them onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the seeds, stir the seeds around to mix the coating, and spread them into a single layer. Bake the seeds in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
4. Remove the seeds from the oven, and sprinkle them with another coating of 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, mixing the seeds together and spreading them out as before. Bake for 5 more minutes. Repeat the coating and baking step one more time, and bake the seeds for 5 more minutes.
5. Sprinkle the seeds with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, mix, and bake the sugar coating onto the seeds for about 10 more minutes. Let the seeds cool on the baking sheet before eating.

Enjoy your sweet and crunchy pumpkin seeds!
