How To Roast Pumpkin Seeds?

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C)

Separate pumpkin seeds from pulp

Rinse seeds under cold water

Remove remaining pulp by rubbing seeds with your hands

Pat seeds dry thoroughly

Toss seeds with 1–2 teaspoons oil per cup of seeds

Season with salt (and optional spices such as garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, or black pepper)

Spread seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment

Roast 20–30 minutes, stirring once halfway through

Check for doneness (golden-brown and crisp when cooled)

If needed, roast 5–10 minutes more until crisp

Cool completely on the baking sheet

Store in an airtight container after fully cooled
