Making Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Seeds is a simple and enjoyable process. Follow these easy steps to whip up your delicious treat:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

3. Prepare a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
4. Toss the Seeds: In a mixing bowl, combine the washed pumpkin seeds with olive oil (or melted coconut oil), granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly coated.
5. Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting.
7. Cool Down: Once golden and fragrant, remove the seeds from the oven. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
8. Enjoy or Store: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for later snacking.

Following these steps will yield perfectly crunchy and flavorful Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Seeds.
