Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
Scoop the seeds out of a pumpkin and place them in a large bowl.
Step 3
Rinse the pumpkin seeds under cold running water to remove any pumpkin flesh, then pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.
Step 4
In a medium bowl, toss the cleaned pumpkin seeds with olive oil, making sure they are coated evenly.
Step 5
Add sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to the bowl, mixing well to ensure the seeds are evenly coated with the spices.
Step 6
Spread the seeds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 7
Roast the seeds in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until they are golden brown and crunchy.
Step 8
Remove from oven and let the seeds cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
