Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Seeds

Fall is my favorite time of year.The leaves are changing colors, the air is nice and cool (most of the time) and Halloween has arrived! If your family is like mine, you carve pumpkins each year. In the process you probably throw all the pumpkin "guts" away. Doesn't that seem like a bit of a waste?

Well, my husband and I love to roast our pumpkin seeds after we finish carving. They're a great snack and taste delicious. Here's our favorite way to eat them.


Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Seeds

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup of pumpkin seeds, cleaned off and dried
• 1 Tbs of melted butter
• 1 Tbs sugar
• 3/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Directions: 

1. Toss the pumpkin seeds in the ingredients. Be sure they are all covered in the mixture.
2. Line a greased baking sheet with the seeds. Be sure to space the seeds out as much as you can.
3. Bake at 300 degrees for about 50 minutes. Be sure to take them out and turn them so they don't burn. Bake until browned, but not burned.
4. Enjoy
