Maple Cinnamon Roasted Pumpkin Seeds (Dairy, Gluten/Grain and Refined Sugar Free)

By Irene Shaver @hhwife
My father in law was over on the weekend and started carving a pumpkin with the girls.  Needless to say they were thrilled.  While creating their masterpiece, they graciously separated the seeds for roasting.  I wasn't in the mood for the typical salted variety, so I created a new flavor.  This one was a hit, we have already made two more batches.
