Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the raw pumpkin seeds with the melted butter mixture. Stir well to ensure the seeds are evenly coated.
Spread the coated pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the pumpkin seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the seeds are golden brown and crunchy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. The candied coating will harden as it cools.
Once cooled, store the Keto Candied Pumpkin Seeds in an airtight container for up to a week, or enjoy immediately as a snack.
