Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 300 degrees F. Spread the seeds on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until dry throughout, 50 to 60 minutes.

2. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, toss the seeds with butter, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Return the seeds to the baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.

Tip: The pumpkin seeds can be made and stored at room temperature in an airtight container up to 3 days in advance.
