Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh pumpkin seeds
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare pumpkin seeds: Remove 2 cups of seeds from a fresh pumpkin and place them in a colander. Rinse thoroughly to remove all pumpkin pulp from the seeds.
  2. Dry seeds: Lay the rinsed seeds between two layers of paper towels or cloth towels and press gently to dry as much moisture as possible.
  3. Season seeds: Transfer the dried seeds to a mixing bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil, then sprinkle garlic salt and smoked paprika. Stir well to evenly coat all the seeds with the seasoning.
  4. Preheat air fryer and place seeds: Pour the seasoned pumpkin seeds into the air fryer basket, spreading them out evenly for uniform cooking.
  5. Roast seeds: Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes in the air fryer. Shake the basket every 5 minutes to ensure even roasting. If seeds are not yet perfectly crispy after 30 minutes, continue cooking up to 5 more minutes while watching closely to avoid burning.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the roasted pumpkin seeds from the air fryer and let them cool completely before enjoying as a crunchy snack.

Notes

  • Ensure seeds are thoroughly dried to achieve crispiness during roasting.
  • Shaking the basket regularly prevents burning and promotes even cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning based on taste preferences; you can add cayenne for heat or cinnamon and sugar for a sweet twist.
  • Store cooled roasted seeds in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness.
