Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups raw whole pumpkin seeds freshly scooped from your pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon garlic powder cinnamon, or other seasonings of choice

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop the seeds from your pumpkin, removing as much of the stringy pulp as possible.
  3. Place the seeds in a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold water, rubbing between your hands to remove any remaining pulp.
  4. Spread the clean seeds on paper towels and pat dry. For extra crispy seeds, let them air dry for 1-2 hours or overnight.
  5. In a bowl, toss the dried pumpkin seeds with melted butter and salt until evenly coated.
  6. Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes for even browning. Seeds should be golden brown and crispy when done.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The seeds will continue to crisp as they cool.
  9. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, if they last that long!
