Ingredients
- 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Rinse the raw pumpkin seeds in a colander under cold water to remove any pulp. Pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Add the dried pumpkin seeds to the bowl and mix well, ensuring all seeds are evenly coated with the spiced oil mixture.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Roast the seeds in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Check for doneness by tasting a seed. It should be golden and crisp. Adjust cooking time by a few more minutes if needed.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the seeds cool completely. They will become crunchier as they cool.
Step 9
Serve as a snack or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
