Ingredients
- 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
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 medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds, olive oil, garlic powder, minced fresh garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Mix well to ensure the seeds are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 5
Roast the seeds in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
Step 6
Check the seeds for doneness by tasting one— they should be golden brown, crispy, and fragrant with a hint of garlic.
Step 7
Remove the seeds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The seeds will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the roasted pumpkin seeds to an airtight container for storage. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored at room temperature for up to one week.
