Learn how to easily roast pumpkin seeds for a crunchy, flavorful fall snack. This guide covers preparation, roasting temperatures, drying tips, and seasoning ideas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, cinnamon, sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Separate the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin pulp. Rinse them under cold water and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  3. In a bowl, toss the dried pumpkin seeds with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add any other desired seasonings.
  4. Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seeds are golden brown and crispy.
  6. Let cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispy seeds, ensure they are completely dry before roasting.
  • You can also boil or brine pumpkin seeds for 10 minutes before roasting for a different texture.
  • Experiment with sweet seasonings like cinnamon and sugar, or savory options like garlic powder and paprika.
  • Store cooled seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
