Turn your pumpkin carving leftovers into a delicious and crunchy snack with these easy roasted pumpkin seed recipes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh pumpkin seeds (from about 1 medium pumpkin)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional seasonings: garlic 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 and remove any pumpkin pulp. Pat them completely dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for crispy seeds.
  3. Toss with oil and salt: In a bowl, toss the dried seeds with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.
  4. Season: Add your desired seasonings. For sweet seeds, try cinnamon and sugar. For spicy, use chili powder and a pinch of cayenne. For savory, garlic powder and paprika work well.
  5. Roast: Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and crunchy.
  7. Cool: Let the seeds cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

  • For air fryer pumpkin seeds, cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Ensure seeds are completely dry before seasoning and roasting for maximum crispiness.
  • Store cooled roasted pumpkin seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
