Recipe Ingredients:

• Fresh pumpkin seeds (seeds from one medium-sized pumpkin)
• Olive oil or melted butter
• Salt (to taste)
• Optional seasonings (such as garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, or sugar for sweet versions)

Recipe Instructions: Recipe Instructions: Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 300°F (150°C). Clean the Seeds: After removing seeds from the pumpkin, rinse them in a colander to remove the pulp and strings. Dry the Seeds: Spread the seeds on a clean towel and pat them dry. It's crucial to get them as dry as possible for even roasting. Season the Seeds: In a bowl, mix the dry seeds with olive oil and salt. Add any additional seasonings you like. For a savory flavor, try garlic powder or paprika. For a spicy kick, a pinch of cayenne pepper works well. If you prefer sweet, mix in some cinnamon and sugar. Prepare for Roasting: Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. You can line the sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Roast the Seeds: Place the baking sheet in the oven. Roast for about 45 minutes or until the seeds are golden brown. Stir occasionally to ensure even roasting. Cool and Enjoy: Let the seeds cool before eating. They can be stored in an airtight container for a few days. Tips: The roasting time may vary depending on the size of the seeds. Be careful not to over-season; you can always add more seasoning after tasting. Roasted pumpkin seeds are a great salad topping or a standalone snack.
