Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin Seeds raw
- 1 tbsp Butter melted
- 1-2 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Preheating ensures even cooking.
- Cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds with a large spoon.
- Clean the pumpkin seeds by removing the pulp and strings. This helps the seeds roast evenly and prevents stringy bits.
- Rinse the seeds in a colander under cold water.
- Spread the rinsed seeds in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
- Transfer the dried seeds to a mixing bowl.
- Add the melted butter and salt to the bowl. Toss until the seeds are evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- For extra crispy seeds, drizzle with a little more melted butter, if desired.
- Roast for 10-20 minutes, checking at 10 minutes. The seeds are done when they're golden brown and fragrant.
- Roasting time may vary depending on the size of the seeds and your oven.
- Remove from the oven and let the seeds cool completely on the baking sheet. They'll crisp up as they cool.
- Store the cooled, roasted pumpkin seeds in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Mix any spices of your choice before baking if you want spicy roasted pumpkin seeds.
Expert Tips
- For even roasting, spread the pumpkin seeds in a single layer on your baking sheet. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking.
- Don't over-roast! Keep a close eye on the seeds, as they can go from perfectly roasted to burnt quickly. Start checking for doneness a few minutes before the recipe's suggested time.
- If you're looking for extra flavor, toss the seeds with a bit of olive oil and your favorite seasonings before roasting.
Storage Instructions
- Store roasted pumpkin seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
