Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
3 cups pumpkin seeds, rinsed and dried
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 ½ teaspoons vanilla sugar, divided
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, divided
½ teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
Place seeds in a mixing bowl. Pour melted butter over seeds; stir to coat. Combine 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (see Cook's Note), 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon white sugar in a small bowl; mix well. Stir in vanilla extract. Spread sugar mixture over seeds, stirring to coat evenly.
Spread seeds over a baking sheet in a single layer. Combine 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle over seeds.
Bake seeds in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven, stir seeds, and spread evenly on baking sheet again. Combine 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in small bowl and sprinkle over seeds. Return seeds to oven for 30 more minutes.
Remove seeds from oven. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla sugar over seeds, and return to oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven, pour into a serving bowl, and serve warm.
Cook's Note:
Actual baking time may vary depending on how wet or dry your seeds were to begin with.
Editor's Note:
Vanilla bean sugar can be found in specialty shops or online, or you can make your own by storing a clean, dry vanilla bean in a jar of granulated sugar. (This is a great way to get more flavor out of vanilla beans you've scraped and used for other desserts.)
