Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon ghee or butter you can also use olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cleaning the pumpkin seeds
- Remove all the seeds from the pumpkin. Separate the pulp from the seeds as much as you can.
- Then put the seeds in a colander and rinse under running water to separate any remaining pieces of pulp.
- Optionally, you can also boil the seeds for 10 minutes in salted water. It will help remove the pulp.
- Lay the seeds out on a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to dry for 30 minutes. Press with paper towels to remove any extra water.
Roasting the seeds
- Before you get started on roasting the pumpkin seeds, make sure that they are completely dry.
- Transfer the dried pumpkin seeds to a bowl. Add melted ghee/butter along with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well till all the seeds are well coated with the seasonings.
- Spread the seeds in the fryer basket evenly. Cook at 360F for 10-15 minutes. Shake the basket half way through for even roasting.
- After they are done, take out and check whether they are crisp to your liking. If not, air fry them for additional 3-5 minutes.
- Let them cool, adjust the seasoning to your taste and enjoy the snack.

Notes
- Seasoning: We love to use Trader Joe"s Chili Lime seasoning or smoked paprika for an extra spice kick.
- Boiling the seeds: I tried both the methods of boiling and not boiling the pumpkin seeds before roasting. I didn't find a difference in taste. Boiling can help to clean them better.
- Large quantity: If you are making a bigger quantity, you need to roast it in batches for them to be evenly roasted.
