Ingredients

Scale
  • Seeds from 1–2 medium pumpkins (about 1–1½ cups raw seeds)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Optional seasonings (choose one):
    • Savory: ¼ tsp garlic powder + ¼ tsp paprika
    • Sweet: 1 tbsp brown sugar + ¼ tsp cinnamon
    • Spicy: ¼ tsp cayenne + ¼ tsp cumin
    • Ranch: ¼ tsp dried dill + ¼ tsp onion powder + ¼ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Scoop seeds from pumpkin and separate from pulp in a large bowl of water. Rinse in a colander.
  2. Dry seeds thoroughly using towels, then air dry for 30 minutes or overnight. For best results, refrigerate uncovered overnight.
  3. Toss seeds in oil or melted butter, add salt and chosen seasonings. Spread in a single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway. Seeds are ready when golden brown and slightly crackling. Start checking at 15 minutes to avoid burning.

Notes

To re-crisp stored seeds, place in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes or toast in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes.
