Ingredients
- 2 cups Pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Scoop out the pumpkin seeds from a fresh pumpkin. Rinse the seeds thoroughly in a colander under cold running water to remove any pumpkin pulp.
Step 3
Spread the seeds on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat them completely dry. Dry seeds will roast more evenly and become crispier.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried pumpkin seeds with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the seeds evenly with the seasoning.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Step 6
Roast the seeds in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring them halfway through to ensure even toasting. The seeds are ready when they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the seeds to cool completely on the pan. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the crispy toasted pumpkin seeds to an airtight container for storage. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored for up to a week as a crunchy snack.
