Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Rinse the fresh pumpkin seeds under cold water to remove any pumpkin pulp. Pat dry with a towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds with olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until the seeds are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the seeds in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to prevent burning. They are done when they are golden brown and crunchy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool at room temperature before serving or storing in an airtight container.
