  • 1 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  3. Spread the seeds in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and caramelized.
