1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Make sure pumpkin seeds are well cleaned and dried. You may need to use your hands to pull off sticky pumpkin pulp.

3

Measure desired dry seasonings in a small bowl and mix well. 

4

Pile the pumpkin seeds onto prepared baking sheet and top with olive oil or melted butter (per seasoning selection). Using your hands or a big spoon, mix the pumpkin seeds and the oil until all seeds are coated. 

5

Top the pumpkin seeds with spice mixture and gently toss to coat.

6

Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until golden, stirring the seeds halfway through, about 20 Minutes. Watch out to make sure they don’t burn.

7

Serve immediately – roasted pumpkin seeds are wonderful when warm. Keep completely cooled leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 5-7 days.
