How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds
Report
This recipe shows how to roast raw pumpkin seeds tossed in olive oil and kosher salt until they are golden brown and crisp. Slow roasting at 300°F with occasional stirring ensures even toasting of the seeds, resulting in a crunchy, savory snack.
Description
To roast pumpkin seeds, first clean raw seeds by removing pumpkin pulp and fibers with your hands and rinsing in a colander. Pat the seeds dry thoroughly with a towel to prevent steaming during roasting. Spread the seeds on a parchment-lined baking sheet, tossing with olive oil and kosher salt to coat evenly.
Roasting at 300°F for 40-45 minutes allows the seeds to develop a toasted flavor and crunchy texture. Stirring the seeds every 10 minutes ensures even browning and prevents burning. The result is a simple, homemade snack that's crisp and lightly salted.
