Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 300.
- Wash the pumpkin seeds.
- Dry the pumpkin seeds. Drying them overnight is even better.
- Toss the pumpkin seeds with enough olive oil to coat them. Spread them evenly in a single layer across a baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with kosher salt and garlic powder.
- Roast in the oven stirring occasionally for 45 minutes to an hour.
- Eat the pumpkin seeds!
- It helps to dry the seeds out overnight. I rinse mine and scrub the pumpkin goo off in a big colander. Then I lay them in a single layer between 2 clean kitchen towels.
- I use olive oil in this recipe because it’s fast and simple and heart healthy. BUT. Butter is also delicious. A blend of half butter & half olive oil is a great bet.
- Get creative with toppings!! A little kosher salt and a tiny shake of garlic powder is savory & traditional but I also really like to toss mine in cinnamon sugar!
