Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Rinse the pumpkin seeds in a colander under cold water to remove any pulp or residue. Pat the seeds dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds with olive oil, salt, and any desired spices, such as garlic powder or smoked paprika. Mix well to coat the seeds evenly.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even toasting.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, stirring the seeds halfway through to prevent burning and ensure even crispness.
Step 6
Once the seeds are golden brown and crunchy, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 7
Transfer the toasted pumpkin seeds to an airtight container for storage or enjoy them immediately as a healthy, low-fat snack!
