Description
Crispy, salty, and endlessly snackable — these Perfectly Roasted Pumpkin Seeds are a fall favorite! Enjoy them plain, savory, or sweet for a healthy homemade snack.
Ingrédients
Scale
- 1½ cups raw pumpkin seeds (scooped from 1 large pumpkin)
- 2 tsp olive oil or melted butter
- ½ tsp sea salt (plus more to taste)
- Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder, paprika, or cinnamon sugar for flavor variations
Instructions
- Step 1 – Scoop and Clean: After carving your pumpkin, scoop out the seeds. Place them in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water, removing as much pulp as possible.
- Step 2 – Boil for Perfect Texture (Optional but Recommended): Simmer the clean seeds in salted water for 10 minutes. This helps them roast evenly and enhances crunch. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
- Step 3 – Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 4 – Season the Seeds: In a bowl, toss pumpkin seeds with olive oil and salt (plus any seasonings you like).
- Step 5 – Roast: Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 25–35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crisp.
- Step 6 – Cool and Enjoy: Let cool completely before serving or storing. Sprinkle with extra salt or seasoning to taste.
Notes
Store roasted pumpkin seeds in an airtight container for up to 1 week. For a sweet twist, try tossing them in cinnamon sugar right after roasting!
