Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Description
This recipe calls for tossing raw pumpkin seeds with melted butter and garlic salt, then spreading them evenly on a foil-lined baking sheet for roasting at 300°F. The seeds bake for 45 minutes, with occasional tossing to ensure even browning and crispness. The low-temperature roasting gently dries and crisps the seeds without burning them.
The seeds emerge with a golden hue and a crunchy texture, highlighted by the buttery coating and garlicky seasoning. This method preserves the natural flavor of the seeds while adding a savory touch. Variations in seasoning like chili powder, Italian herbs, or cinnamon sugar can customize the taste for different occasions.
Roasted pumpkin seeds can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature, making them convenient for snacking or use as a crunchy topping in other dishes.
Using different seasonings as noted allows tailoring the flavor according to preference or dietary needs without altering the roasting technique.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups pumpkin seeds raw
- 1 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt or seasonings of choice, with parsley flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray. Set aside.
- Place seeds in the bowl with melted butter and garlic salt and toss to coat. Spread seeds in a single layer onto the foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes until golden, tossing occasionally. Store properly.
Notes
- Store roasted pumpkin seeds in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
- Seasoning variations can include chili powder, salt and pepper, Italian seasoning with parmesan cheese, or cinnamon and sugar for sweet options.
