Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds Cleaned and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • to taste optional spices or seasonings (e.g., garlic powder, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to ensure a nice and even roasting experience for your pumpkin seeds.
  2. Rinse your raw pumpkin seeds under cold water in a colander, ensuring to remove any leftover pumpkin pulp.
  3. Pat the rinsed seeds dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the dried pumpkin seeds, olive oil, and sea salt. Add any optional spices for extra flavor.
  5. Place the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roasting
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  2. Keep an eye on the seeds, as they can go from golden to burnt quickly.
Serving
  1. Once roasted to golden perfection, remove the seeds from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet.
  2. Once cooled, they’re ready to eat!
