Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (4 ounces)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Seasonings:

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Rinse the pumpkin seeds and dry them on a clean kitchen towel.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the pumpkin seeds in a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, kosher salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix with a spoon or a spatula until the seeds are well coated.
  • Spread the pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them until golden, for 15-20 minutes, stirring them halfway through.
  • Serve immediately or allow to cool – they are perfect when warm!

Notes

  • Check the seeds after 15 minutes, and watch out to ensure they don’t burn. They quickly progress from pale to brown. When done, they will have a deep golden color, very different from their white color in their raw state. Note that they should be golden, not brown. When they become dark brown, it means you over-roasted them. So keep a close eye on them!
  • If you’re not into spicy food, simply omit the cayenne pepper. You’ll get delicious, well-seasoned seeds without the heat. On the other hand, if you enjoy spicy foods, you can double the cayenne.
  • Storage: After you cool them completely, store these seeds on the counter in an airtight container for up to two weeks. You can also freeze these seeds in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
