Ingredients
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to prepare for roasting the pumpkin seeds evenly.
- Toss Seeds: In a bowl, combine the raw pumpkin seeds with olive oil and salt, stirring well to coat each seed thoroughly.
- Spread: Arrange the coated pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for even roasting.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the seeds for about 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even crispiness. Roast until the seeds are dry and crisp.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the pumpkin seeds to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- For added flavor, try sprinkling the seeds with spices like paprika, cinnamon, or garlic powder before roasting.
- Make sure to stir the seeds during roasting to avoid burning and promote even cooking.
- Store cooled roasted seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
