These Roasted Pumpkin Seeds are a great Fall snack. These oven roasted pumpkin seeds are made from a fresh pumpkin then seasoned and roasted perfectly. They are a great healthy snack even your kids will enjoy.

How to make Roasted Pumpkin Seeds:

Once you have scooped the pumpkin seeds from your pumpkin, clean and rinse them to get the pumpkin strings and residue off. Pat them dry with paper towels and then place them in a mixing bowl. Add the seasoning to the bowl and mix well. Spread the seeds out on a baking sheet and place in the oven to roast. Once they are done allow them too cool before serving. Enjoy!

Ingredient Notes:

• Raw Pumpkin Seeds – Use the seeds from the pumpkins you are carving this Fall.
• Olive Oil – this helps in the roasting and the seasoning sticking to the seeds.
• Salt – I like a coarse salt for this.
• Pepper – fresh ground black pepper is best
• Garlic Powder
• Paprika
• Cooking spray or oil for pan

Directions:

Step One: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Prepare a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or oil and set aside.

Step Two: Wash pumpkin seeds well to remove all pumpkin from them and then pat them dry. 

Step Three: Add pumpkin seeds to a mixing bowl and toss with olive oil.

Add in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss again to coat.

Step Four: Pour pumpkin seeds onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Stopping to stir and flip seeds every 5 mins to ensure even cooking. 

Step Five: Remove from the oven and allow to cool before serving. 

How to properly season the Pumpkin Seeds:

I like coating the pumpkin seeds with Olive Oil to help the seasoning stick to them. Once you pick the seasonings you are going to use, sprinkle them on to the pumpkin seeds and mix well. Make sure they are coated well so that every seed has seasoning on them.

Try some of these different styles of Roasted Pumpkin Seeds:

Want a Sweet & Salty Pumpkin Seed? Mix together some brown sugar, cinnamon, and sea salt as your seasoning.

Want a Spicy Pumpkin Seed? Try seasoning with chili powder, cumin and a little cayenne pepper with salt.

How to store Roasted Pumpkin Seeds:

Store your roasted pumpkin seeds on the counter. They can be store in a Ziplock bag or in an airtight container for about 2 weeks.

You can refrigerate them in an airtight container, and they should last about 2 months.

You can also freeze them, in a freezer safe container or baggie for up to 3 months.
