Are you tired of throwing away those nutritious pumpkin seeds every time you carve a jack-o’-lantern? Why not turn them into a delicious and healthy snack instead? In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to make savory pumpkin seeds right in your own kitchen.

Gather the Ingredients

Before you begin, gather the following ingredients:

  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika

Remove Seeds from the Pumpkin

Start by scooping out the seeds from your pumpkin. Separate them from the stringy pulp and place them in a colander.

Clean the Seeds

Rinse the pumpkin seeds under cold water to remove any remaining pulp. Make sure to remove all the pulp as it can affect the taste and texture of the final product.

Dry the Seeds

Spread the cleaned pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet in a single layer. Allow them to air dry for at least a few hours or overnight. Drying will help them become extra crispy when roasted.

Preheat the Oven

While the seeds are drying, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Season the Seeds

Once the seeds are dry, transfer them to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss until the seeds are well coated. Now, it’s time to season them! Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, and paprika according to your preference. Mix well until the seasoning is evenly distributed.

Roast the Seeds

Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the sheet in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the seeds turn golden brown. Remember to stir the seeds every 10-15 minutes to ensure even baking.

Cool and Store

Allow the roasted pumpkin seeds to cool completely before tasting. Store them in an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness.

Now that you have successfully made savory pumpkin seeds, you can enjoy them as a nutrient-packed snack or use them as a topping for salads, soups, or roasted vegetables. Get creative with different seasonings and share this delicious and healthy treat with your family and friends!
