Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Scoop the seeds out of a pumpkin and place them in a large bowl.
Rinse the pumpkin seeds under cold running water to remove any pumpkin flesh, then pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel.
In a medium bowl, toss the cleaned pumpkin seeds with olive oil, making sure they are coated evenly.
Add sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to the bowl, mixing well to ensure the seeds are evenly coated with the spices.
Spread the seeds in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roast the seeds in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until they are golden brown and crunchy.
Remove from oven and let the seeds cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
