Roasting Pumpkin Seeds in Oven
Report
The secret to the BEST ever roasted pumpkin seeds is to brine them first. They come out perfectly seasoned and extra crispy, just the way they should be. This is the ultimate method for roasting pumpkin seeds!

Notes
- The brining process does two things. It allows the seeds to absorb the salt, and also draws out some of their natural moisture. This results in a seed that's seasoned from the inside out, and produces a crispier, crunchier texture.
- **Certain seasonings such as garlic powder and onion powder can burn in the oven, so they're best used in the last 5 minutes of roasting, or tossed with the seeds when they come out of the oven.
