Ingredients
- ¾ cup pumpkin seeds (washed with no pumpkin flesh left on them)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp local honey (or switch to maple syrup for a plant-based option)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
Directions
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit.
In a saucepan on a low heat, warm your local honey and whisk in your olive oil, salt, and cinnamon until combined. Be careful not to burn.
Once combined, remove from heat and stir in your pumpkin seeds. When the pumpkin seeds are coated, spread them evenly on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake your pumpkin seeds at 325 degrees fahrenheit for 15 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes to get them evenly roasted.
When they are done, they should be toasted and crunchy. Allow to cool before serving.
