These honey roasted pumpkin seeds with cinnamon are a quick and easy snack that transforms fresh pumpkin seeds into a crunchy, sweet, and salty treat. Perfect for fall, they come together in under 30 minutes with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Pinch of nutmeg or cardamom

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Clean the pumpkin seeds thoroughly. Place the seeds in a colander and rinse them under cool running water, using your fingers to separate any remaining pumpkin flesh. Pick out any stringy bits. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Dry the seeds completely. Spread the rinsed seeds on a clean kitchen towel or layer of paper towels. Pat them dry, then let them sit for 5 minutes to air-dry.
  4. Mix the coating. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil (or butter), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Coat the seeds. Add the dried pumpkin seeds to the bowl and toss well with a spatula until every seed is evenly coated.
  6. Spread on the baking sheet. Pour the coated seeds onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them into a single, even layer.
  7. Bake for 12 minutes. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack. After 12 minutes, remove it from the oven and stir the seeds with a spatula, spreading them back into an even layer.
  8. Bake for another 8-10 minutes. Return the sheet to the oven and bake until the seeds are golden brown and fragrant. Watch them closely in the last 2 minutes.
  9. Cool completely. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the seeds cool on the sheet for at least 10 minutes without stirring.
  10. Break apart and enjoy. Once cool, break apart any clusters with your fingers.

Notes

Dry the seeds thoroughly for maximum crunch. Watch the oven closely in the last few minutes to prevent burning. Let seeds cool completely before serving for the crispiest texture.
