When carving pumpkins for Halloween or making homemade pumpkin puree, don’t throw away the seeds! Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are a delicious and nutritious snack that can be enjoyed all year round. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to make savory pumpkin seeds that are sure to please your taste buds. Let’s get started!

Gathering the ingredients

Before you begin, make sure you have the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cleaning and prepping the seeds

Start by removing any pulp and strings from the seeds. Give them a good rinse under cold water to clean off any remaining bits. Pat them dry with a paper towel or clean cloth.

Roasting the pumpkin seeds

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

In a bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds, melted butter or olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well, ensuring all the seeds are coated with the seasoning.

Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the seeds are golden brown and crispy.

Enjoying the savory pumpkin seeds

Once the seeds are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely. Transfer them to a serving bowl and they are ready to be enjoyed!

Savory pumpkin seeds make a great snack on their own, or you can use them as a delicious topping for salads, soups, or roasted vegetables. They also make a festive addition to your next cheese and charcuterie board.

Not only are these pumpkin seeds incredibly tasty, but they are also packed with nutrients. They are a rich source of protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. So, you can enjoy this snack guilt-free!
