Ingredients

• 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons erythritol
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the erythritol and stir until it begins to dissolve.

Step 3

Add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to the pan and mix well to combine.

Step 4

Add the raw pumpkin seeds to the pan. Stir them until they are well-coated with the butter and erythritol mixture. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the pumpkin seeds for an additional layer of flavor.

Step 6

Spread the coated pumpkin seeds evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, stirring just once halfway through, until the seeds are golden and fragrant.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the seeds to cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will continue to harden as they cool.

Step 9

Once cooled, break apart any clusters and transfer the candied pumpkin seeds to an airtight container for storage.

Step 10

Enjoy as a snack, topping for yogurt, or a crunchy salad garnish.
