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.

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.
