Ingredients
- 4 cups white uncooked pumpkin seeds
- 4 Tablespoons olive oil equal to 1/4 cup
- 2 Tablespoons kosher salt
Instructions
- Soak your seeds: For every 1 cup of seeds add: 2 cups of water + 1/2 Tablespoon salt. Soak overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375° for a light baking sheet (which is ideal). Or 350° for a dark baking sheet.
- Rinse thoroughly and pat completely dry. Add to the baking sheet.
- Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Use your hands to toss and coat evenly.
- Spread out in a single, even layer. Bake for 15-25 minutes, pulling every 5-7 minutes or so to toss them for even browning. Remove from the oven once evenly browned and crispy.
- Serve them warm!
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Notes on Baking Time:
- Note: If you left your seeds out to dry overnight after you've soaked/dried them, they'll roast faster, so keep an eye on them. Tossing every 5 minutes allows us to do that. They'll also roast faster if you have smaller seeds, or fewer seeds on your baking sheet than pictured here, with more room in between them.
- Use about 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil + 1-2 teaspoons Salt for every 1 cup of pumpkin seeds.
- Nutritional information is an estimate and is per cup. This recipe makes 4 cups.
