Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Seeds

October 29, 2015 by Kristin Leave a Comment

Since Halloween is coming up, my hubby and kids carved their pumpkins last weekend. It was the first year all the kids were old enough to do their own! My youngest carved a scary haunted house, my middle carved an owl, and my oldest carved a ghost! It was quite comical watching the kids lift the tops off their pumpkins and learn how to clean it out. I don’t think they were quite ready for the smell, goo inside, and mess. Me on the other hand, I had a great time watching them, taking pictures, and then of course, roasting seeds for a treat afterwards.

Typically, I just use a little salt/pepper combination and pop the tray in the oven. This year, I decided to sweeten it up a bit and use cinnamon sugar. I had these ready for the oven in less than five minutes, and the house smelled wonderful while they were roasting. The kids devoured these and begged me to make these again next year!!

All in all, I would call pumpkin carving a success. From the end result of the pumpkins, to the tasty seeds we all got to enjoy…..it was definitely a family fun evening!!
