Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. Clean pumpkin seeds so there are no strings or pulp attached to them. Pat dry or let air dry in a strainer.

  3. Spread seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle seeds lightly with olive oil and stir to coat evenly. Sprinkle lightly with chili powder and sea salt.

  4. Bake, stirring every 5 minutes, until just slightly golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Recipe Note

Cooking up some winter squash? Stop tossing out the seeds. Seeds from butternut, spaghetti, acorn, and other hard squashes can be roasted into a crispy snack or salad topper, just like pumpkin seeds. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, or curry.
