Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
If you are using fresh pumpkin seeds, rinse them thoroughly in a colander to remove any pumpkin flesh and strings. Pat the seeds dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dried pumpkin seeds with olive oil and salt. Stir until the seeds are well coated.
Spread the coated pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven when the seeds are golden brown and crispy. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Once cooled, enjoy these crunchy seeds as a snack on their own or as a topping for salads or soups.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
