Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
If you are using fresh pumpkin seeds, rinse them thoroughly in a colander to remove any pumpkin flesh and strings. Pat the seeds dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the dried pumpkin seeds with olive oil and salt. Stir until the seeds are well coated.
Step 4
Spread the coated pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
Step 6
Remove from the oven when the seeds are golden brown and crispy. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 7
Once cooled, enjoy these crunchy seeds as a snack on their own or as a topping for salads or soups.
Step 8
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
