Roasted Pumpkin Seed Recipe

Here’s my handy dandy yummy roasted pumpkin seed recipe. Just remember to roast the seeds to your preference of crispiness – I tend to like mine really dry and crunchy, so I leave ‘em in the oven for a long time. For those who like the seeds a bit more al dente’, take the seeds out of the oven sooner!

Learn how to roast your own delicious pumpkin seeds!

  • Rinse all the pumpkin “guts” off the seeds.
  • Soak the seeds for an hour or so in very salted water (you can skip this if you’re in a hurry).
  • Spread the seeds on a pan in a single layer. Salt the heck out of them if you’re not concerned about sodium content in your food – I use sea salt from a grinder.
  • Put the pan in a 275 degree oven.
  • In about half an hour, pull the pan out, stir the seeds, sprinkle some more salt on the seeds, and stir them around to make sure all of them have that sodium goodness slathered all over them! Then put the pan back in the oven again.
  • When the seeds have dried nicely, test one or two out to see if they are done to your liking. You’ll smell them when they’re getting closer to being roasted to completion. :)

    • TIP: Some folks like them lightly toasted, I like mine extra-crispy. If you want to get fancy – sometimes I do a batch of garlic seeds, or you can sprinkle cayenne for hot seeds, or taco seasoning on them for taco seeds. Just add the seasonings when you would have added the salt in the beginning. ENJOY! :)
