  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer.
Roasting
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the seeds for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  2. Once golden and fragrant, remove the seeds from the oven and let them cool before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a month. Reheat at 250°F (120°C) for 5-10 minutes if desired.
