  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 1 cup 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup raw pumpkin seeds

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

Optional: garlic powder, smoked paprika, or cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Clean the seeds: Rinse the pumpkin seeds thoroughly under cold water to remove pulp. Pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towels.
  2. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Season the seeds: In a bowl, toss the seeds with olive oil and salt. Add optional spices like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or cayenne pepper for extra flavor.
  4. Roast the seeds: Spread the seeds in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 30–40 minutes, stirring every 10–15 minutes to ensure even browning.
  5. Cool and enjoy: Remove from oven when golden and crispy. Let cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.

Notes

For even crispier results, dry the seeds overnight. Adjust seasoning to taste and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
