Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the seeds: Rinse the raw pumpkin seeds under cold water to remove any pumpkin pulp and strings. Pat them dry thoroughly with a clean towel.
  2. Toss with oil and salt: In a bowl, combine the dried pumpkin seeds with olive oil and salt. Stir well to ensure each seed is evenly coated.
  3. Roast the seeds: Spread the coated seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seeds are golden brown and crisp.
  4. Cool and serve: Remove the seeds from the oven and let them cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add spices such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, or cinnamon before roasting.
  • Make sure to dry the seeds well after rinsing to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Store roasted pumpkin seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
  • Use fresh pumpkin seeds for the best taste and texture.
