Crunchy and flavorful roasted pumpkin seeds seasoned with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, perfect as a healthy snack or salad topping.

Ingredients

Seeds

  • 2 cups pumpkin seeds (raw, whole seeds)

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Other

  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and coat a sheet pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Seeds: In a bowl, combine the raw pumpkin seeds with melted butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to ensure all seeds are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Bake Seeds: Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single, even layer on the prepared sheet pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to promote even browning until the seeds turn golden brown and crispy.
  4. Cool and Store: Remove the roasted seeds from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Stir seeds every 10-15 minutes during baking for even roasting.
  • Use raw pumpkin seeds, not pre-roasted or salted, for best results.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature to keep seeds crunchy.
  • Optional: experiment with other seasonings like smoked paprika or cinnamon sugar for variety.
