Ingredients

3 cups raw pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
½-1 teaspoon sea salt

Optional Seasoning

1 tablespoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Remove the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin, discarding as much pulp as possible. Place 3 cups raw pumpkin seeds in a medium bowl and rinse thoroughly to remove any remaining pulp. Strain in a colander.
Pat the seeds very dry with a paper towel.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a baking sheet lightly with pan spray and set aside.
Add the pumpkin seeds to the prepared baking sheet. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and ½-1 teaspoon sea salt (omit the salt if you are using the seasoning) and stir to coat.
If you want to use the seasoning, combine the 1 tablespoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Toss with the seeds and oil to coat.
Spread the seeds out evenly on the pan and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through. The seeds should be golden brown. Let them cool before transferring to a bowl to enjoy.

Notes

Air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit. At step 6, add the seeds to the air fryer basket and roast for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes or so until golden brown.
