How To Make Cinnamon Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Hi everyone! Over the holidays, our kitchen has acquired a lot of fruit. Today, I roasted a pumpkin for the first time. I needed canned pumpkin for a dessert I was going to make and decided to make my own pumpkin puree. After slicing the pumpkin, I scooped out the middle with all the seeds and pulp. Not wanting to waste them, I decided to roast the pumpkins seeds. I soaked the seeds in a bowl of water for about 15 minutes to take the remaining pumpkin pulp off.
Now, the"how to" for these little yummies.
First, I would pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees.
Here are the ingredients that you will need to make them:
2 cups of raw pumpkins seeds
2 tablespoons coconut oil
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Mix all of these ingredients together and place the seeds on a foiled lined baking sheet with no seeds overlapping. (The foil prevents them from sticking). You will need to roast them for about 45 minutes and stir them about every fifteen minutes to help them roast evenly. Below is what the sheet should look like.
I hope you enjoy and please let me know if you have any questions.
Welcome to steemit! If you are ever looking for a group, actually a community, of homesteaders/gardeners/self-sufficient like-minded people, I am the moderator of a group here... also the "un"official ambassador to the group.
let me know and I can post an invite link here for you!
Thanks for offering to help @goldendawne!
I'd say go ahead and post the link. @carolina-girl is just getting started and she is working full-time so it's a bit overwhelming on the learning curve and with trying to keep up.
I also think that this will be useful information for others who may find her post and this comment thread.
Cheers,

Oh I wouldn't want to overwhelm her @rebeccaryan
But I will post the link and if any other homesteader, gardener would like to join please feel free too

Thank you very much @goldendawne and @rebeccaryan fo your support and suggestions! I went ahead and accepted the Discord invitation and signed up, just not sure how active I will be. Thanks again to the both of you!
Well done @carolina-girl! This is a great recipe and your photos are clear with easy to follow instructions.
Once you get going with your food posts, there are all kinds of food contests that you can join. That helped me immensely when I first got started because not only do you have a chance of your post being noticed and upvoted, you also have a chance of winning or placing as a winner, with additional prizing. This is usually in the form of SBD but can be other crypto-coin as well.
Your tags are accurate. There is another one that is worth using too...
#food-trail. (Anything with a -trail at the end, alerts curators in a main tag category. In this case, food is the main and food-trail would be second.) You could also use: #vegan (because no animal-derived ingredients are used) and #health (if you used sea-salt instead of iodized).
If you grew the pumpkin yourself, you could use #gardening and #homesteading. If you found a pumpkin (say on a walk or hike) then you could also use #foraging and #foraging-trail.
Great post!
Thank you so much for taking the time to give me this helpful advice and guidance, it is much needed and appreciated! Finding the time to work on this is going to be key.
So glad you wrote a post on your blog. It’s a simple recipe that even I could manage. I like that because as you mentioned time is in short supply lately. Looking forward to your next work. 🐓🐓
Thank you!

I want you to know. There is so much eye grabbing material on Steemit that we can get lost in the confusion. Who do I go to next? Who is expecting me to look at their work? This could easily be a full time job.
I know I haven't been to @bluelightbandits' blog for a while. I don't think he has been to mine either. There is only so much we can do.
I will visit his blog after I finish this reply.
I think that bluelightbandit said you were from Ohio originally.
So am I. Southern Ohio. Adams County. About 70-80 miles east of Cincinnnati. A rural area with Amish communities nearby.
I like it there. But, not so much the winters.
Thank you for showing us how to prepare pumpkin seeds.
Even I could do that since you have showed me. Ha
But, will I? lol

Thank you very much Mr. @francisk for taking the time to visit my page! I can see where this can be very time consuming and difficult to visit regularly. I work several hours a week and have little time to spread around unfortunately.
Danny has been to your blog's Mr. @francisk although I don't think you have seen all of his replies. I can't speak for all of them but I have seen his replies on your post where I think one or two may have slipped through the cracks and went unanswered. The last one I noticed was on your coffee picture, I believe. Although, I'm not sure how how anyone can keep up with all the comments and replies that some of you have. I simply do not have time to be a steemit super star as yourself.
I'm from Cleveland, Ohio myself and love to go there to visit family when I can. Oh, the winters were bad! Although I was born in Ohio, North Carolina is where I call home:)
You should try the pumpkin seeds, they were really great! They must have been because they were all gone when I got up this morning :)
Thanks again for the visit Mr. @francisk
