Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Rinse the pumpkin seeds thoroughly in a colander under cold running water to remove all excess pulp and strings. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the dried pumpkin seeds, olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss the seeds until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Check for doneness by tasting. The seeds should be crispy and lightly golden.
Once roasted, remove the seeds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
Serve immediately as a snack or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
