Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Rinse the pumpkin seeds in a colander under cold water to remove any pulp or residue. Pat the seeds dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds with olive oil, salt, and any desired spices, such as garlic powder or smoked paprika. Mix well to coat the seeds evenly.
Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even toasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, stirring the seeds halfway through to prevent burning and ensure even crispness.
Once the seeds are golden brown and crunchy, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Transfer the toasted pumpkin seeds to an airtight container for storage or enjoy them immediately as a healthy, low-fat snack!
