Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons neutral-flavored oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Start by slicing the pumpkin in half with a long sharp knife. Be careful when doing this because pumpkins are firm and can take a little extra strength to cut through.
- Using a large enough scrape out all the pumpkin seeds and fibrous strings in the center of each half.
- Pick through and separate the seeds from the fibrous pumpkin strings.
- Thoroughly wash the pumpkin seeds under cold water removing and fibrous pumpkin strings.
- Dry the rinsed pumpkin seeds on paper towels, which takes about 10 minutes.
- Mix the pumpkin seeds with the oil, salt, pepper, and paprika until combined.
- Spread them out on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 350° for 15 minutes.
- Every 5 minutes until they are done baking, move the pumpkin seed around so that they cook evenly.
- Let cool to room temperature and serve or store.
