Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- 4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon salted butter melted
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Place seeds in a large bowl of water and "swish" with your hands to release seeds from fibers. The seeds should float to the top. Remove seeds from the bowl using a spoon or your hand. Rinse pumpkin seeds, removing any remaining fiberous strands.
- Add water and salt to a pot. Bring to a boil and add the seeds. Boil for 10 minutes. Drain well and place on a plate covered with a paper towel. Pat completely dry.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
- Place the seeds in a bowl and add melted butter and cinnamon sugar. Stir well.
- Place flavored seeds in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer.
- Cook at 350 for 10 minutes, shaking the basket half way through.
- Let cool and serve.

Notes
- Instead of boiling the seeds, you can also soak them in the same amount of water and salt overnight. Soak them in a large bowl on the counter at room temperature.
- Add roasted pumpkin seeds to salads, trail mix, or granola.
