1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Notes

Storage + Freezing Roast Pumpkin Seeds

Maple roast pumpkin seeds can be stored for several weeks to a few months if stored properly in an airtight container. To maximize their shelf life and maintain their freshness and crunchiness:

Cool Completely: Allow the maple roast pumpkin seeds to cool completely before storing them. This prevents condensation from forming inside the container, which could lead to sogginess.

Use an Airtight Container: Transfer the cooled pumpkin seeds to an airtight container. A resealable plastic bag or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid works well. Make sure there is minimal air inside the container to prevent moisture from affecting the seeds.

Store in a Cool, Dark Place: Keep the container in a cool, dark, and dry pantry or cupboard. Avoid exposing the seeds to direct sunlight or heat, as this can affect their flavor and texture.

Check for Freshness: Periodically check the stored pumpkin seeds for any signs of moisture, mold, or an off smell. If you notice any of these signs, it's best to discard them.

Freeze for More Shelf Life: For longer storage, you can freeze the roast pumpkin seeds in an airtight container or vacuum-sealed bag, where they can stay fresh for several months to a year. Just make sure they are thoroughly cooled and dry before freezing.
