  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Rinse the pumpkin seeds in cold water to remove any pumpkin guts, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

  4. Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the seeds for about 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
  2. Remove from oven when they are golden and aromatic, and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
  3. Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container.
