Description

Crunchy, flavorful roasted pumpkin seeds that can be made sweet, savory, or spicy — a perfect fall snack or topping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (from fresh pumpkin or store-bought pepitas)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or melted butter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon + sugar (for sweet version)

Instructions

  1. Clean the Seeds: Scoop seeds from your pumpkin. Separate pulp, rinse under cold water, and pat completely dry.
  2. Season the Seeds: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place seeds in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and seasonings.
  3. Roast the Seeds: Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and fragrant.
  4. Cool & Enjoy: Let seeds cool before serving. Store in an airtight jar.

Notes

Tips: Dry seeds thoroughly for crispiness. Spread in a single layer. Stir midway for even browning. Try flavor variations: garlic-parmesan, cinnamon-sugar, or spicy chili-lime.
