Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds (raw, cleaned)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Prepare the Seeds: Rinse the pumpkin seeds thoroughly to remove any pumpkin pulp and pat them dry with a clean towel. Ensuring the seeds are dry helps them roast evenly and become crisp.
- Toss with Oil and Salt: Place the dried pumpkin seeds in a bowl, add the olive oil and salt, then toss until all seeds are evenly coated. This step adds flavor and helps the seeds roast to a golden brown.
- Roast the Seeds: Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even roasting, until the seeds are crisp and golden. Let them cool before enjoying.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding spices like paprika, garlic powder, or cinnamon before roasting.
- Keep an eye on the seeds during roasting as they can burn quickly once they begin to crisp.
- Roasted seeds can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
