Roasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe

🌻 Roasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (from a fresh pumpkin or store-bought)

1 tbsp olive oil (or melted butter)

½ tsp salt

Optional seasonings (choose your favorite):

½ tsp paprika or smoked paprika

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp cinnamon & sugar (for a sweet version)

¼ tsp chili powder (for spicy seeds)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 175°C / 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Clean the seeds:

Rinse pumpkin seeds in a colander to remove pulp and strings.

Pat them dry thoroughly with a paper towel (this helps them roast evenly and get crunchy).

Toss with oil & seasoning:
In a bowl, mix seeds with olive oil, salt, and any extra seasoning you like until well coated.

Spread evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer.

Roast for 15–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the seeds are golden brown and crispy.
(Keep an eye on them near the end — they can burn quickly.)

Cool completely before eating or storing.

Storage:

Store in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or in the fridge for longer freshness.
