Ingredients

2 cups pumpkin seeds or pepitas
cooking oil or spray
sea salt, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Spray a cookie sheet with a thick coating of cooking oil and evenly place the pumpkin seeds on the sheet. Lightly sprinkle pumpkin seeds with salt.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Stir the seeds and cook another 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy (make sure to keep an eye on them in the last few minutes of cooking so they don’t burn).
Cool and serve.

Notes

Dry Thoroughly: The drier your seeds, the crispier they’ll turn out! If they’re still damp, they’ll steam instead of toast.

Customize Your Seasoning: Don’t limit yourself! My kids love when I toss the seeds in a little soy sauce before I roast them. Feel free to experiment! Try different seasonings like garlic powder, curry powder, or even cinnamon sugar for a sweet twist.

Keep an Eye Out: Make sure to keep an eye on your pumpkin seeds in the last few minutes of cooking so they don’t burn. Pepitas may take less time since they're already hulled.

Store for Later: Toasted pumpkin seeds will stay fresh in an airtight container for up to a week, so make a big batch and snack on them all week long.
