Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pumpkin Seeds
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
Instructions
- Prep the Seeds. Start by scooping out the seeds from a fresh pumpkin if you're using them straight from the source. Separate the seeds from the stringy pumpkin flesh and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels.
- Boil the Seeds (Optional). For extra crispy seeds, boil them in salted water for about 10 minutes. This helps make the seeds more tender before roasting.
- Season the Seeds. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Toss the clean, dry seeds with olive oil and salt. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Roast the Seeds. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting. The seeds are ready when they are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Enjoy. Once the seeds are done roasting, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
