Ingredients

• 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the granulated erythritol, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until the erythritol is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the raw pumpkin seeds with the melted butter mixture. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the coated pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Sprinkle the salt evenly over the pumpkin seeds.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the seeds are golden brown and crunchy.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. The candied coating will harden as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, store the Keto Candied Pumpkin Seeds in an airtight container for up to a week, or enjoy immediately as a snack.
