Ingredients

▢ 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
▢ 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
▢ ½ tsp salt or seasoning salt
▢ ¼ tsp each other seasonings of choice (I used pepper, paprika, hot chili powder, and garlic powder)

Instructions

Remove the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin flesh and add to a colander.
Rinse the pumpkin seeds thoroughly, and remove any spall peices of pumpkin flesh that remain.
Allow your pumpkin seeds to dry on a kitchen towel. Do not use a paper towel as some of the tissue can get stuck to the pumpkin seeds as they dry.
Once properly dried, pre-heat the oven to 350°.
Place the pumpkin seeds directly onto a baking sheet, toss with olive oil, salt and spices using clean hands. Make sure all seeds are thoroughly coated in the oil and seasoning mixture.
Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Toss the seeds every 5 minutes to ensure even roasting. They should be lightly browned, you can test one to see if it's crunchy.
Allow to cool, and enjoy!
