Learn how to make perfectly crispy and flavorful roasted pumpkin seeds, a delicious snack from your Halloween jack-o’-lantern.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds (from 1 medium pumpkin)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cinnamon, sugar

Instructions

  1. Clean the pumpkin seeds: Rinse the seeds under cold water to remove pumpkin pulp. Pick out any remaining bits of pumpkin.
  2. Dry the seeds: Spread the seeds in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Pat them dry thoroughly. For extra crispiness, let them air dry for at least an hour, or overnight.
  3. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  4. Season the seeds: In a bowl, toss the dried pumpkin seeds with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add any other desired seasonings.
  5. Roast the seeds: Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the seeds cool completely on the baking sheet before eating.

Notes

  • For a quick clean, use a colander to rinse the seeds and pick out the pulp.
  • Ensure seeds are completely dry before roasting for maximum crispiness.
  • Experiment with different seasoning blends like sweet (cinnamon and sugar) or spicy (chili powder and cumin).
  • Store cooled roasted seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
