Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Pumpkin seeds, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil Can substitute with avocado or melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
  • 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.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cleaned pumpkin seeds with olive oil, salt, and any additional seasonings (garlic powder or paprika). Toss to coat.
  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.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
