Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
pinch cayenne pepper
Fresh herbs (optional, such as rosemary or thyme)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Prepare the seeds by separating them from the pumpkin guts and rinsing them under cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Toss the dried pumpkin seeds in a bowl with olive oil and your choice of seasonings, ensuring every seed is coated evenly.
Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the seeds in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until they are golden brown and emit a nutty aroma.
Remove the seeds from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before adjusting salt to taste.
