Method

1. Remove & clean seeds– removing the stringy fleshy parts. Rinsing in a colander or fine mesh strainer. Using a paper towel, dry the seeds thoroughly. Add oil, salt, and seasonings– We like to use avocado oil in a ratio of 1 tbsp oil to 1 cup seeds.
2. Season with salt and add other seasonings (such as Shawarma, Curry Powder, or Pumpkin Pie Spice) for an extra boost.
3. Bake for 20-30 minutes at 250 degrees, or until the pumpkin seeds are crisp and light golden brown. Smaller seeds will need less time than larger ones.
4. As the seeds cool, they will crisp up a little more. Make sure to let them cool completely before transferring to a sealed container. Otherwise, they may get soggy from the steam.
5. Sprinkle on your pumpkin soup or hummus before serving or add to salads.
