A simple recipe for roasting pumpkin seeds from your jack-o’-lantern carvings, perfect for a crunchy fall snack.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Clean the pumpkin seeds: Rinse the seeds under cold water to remove any pumpkin pulp. Pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for crispy seeds.
  3. Season the seeds: In a bowl, toss the dried pumpkin seeds with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and any other desired seasonings.
  4. Roast the seeds: Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy. Stir them halfway through the roasting time for even cooking.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the seeds cool completely on the baking sheet before enjoying.

Notes

  • For sweet seeds, toss with cinnamon and sugar after roasting while still warm.
  • For spicy seeds, add chili powder and a pinch of cayenne pepper with the salt.
  • Ensure seeds are completely dry before roasting to prevent steaming.
  • You can use a variety of seasonings to customize the flavor.
