Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds (, from a pumpkin)
  • 1 tablespoon  smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon  garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon  sea salt (, add less if you are low sodium)
  • drizzle of your favorite oil for roasting (, optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325 F/ 165 C
  • Rinse raw seeds in strainer and allow the water to drip out. If you aren't using oil, you don't want them completely dry, you still need a touch of wetness to hold the seasoning. If you are using oil, then dry them with a towel.
  • Take pumpkin seeds and put them in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Using your hands, massage seasoning into seeds to make sure they are coated well.
  • Place pumpkin seeds on a parchment lined cookie sheet, making sure to keep them in a single layer so they bake evenly. 
  • Bake for 15 minutes, turn pan around and mix seeds a bit, then bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until seeds are browning and crispy.
