Ingredients
- 2 cups Pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
Rinse the pumpkin seeds thoroughly in a colander under cold running water to remove all excess pulp and strings. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the dried pumpkin seeds, olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss the seeds until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Check for doneness by tasting. The seeds should be crispy and lightly golden.
Step 7
Once roasted, remove the seeds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
