Ingredients

• 2 cups pumpkin seeds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse the pumpkin seeds thoroughly to remove any pumpkin pulp, then pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 3

Transfer the dried pumpkin seeds to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the seeds and toss to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the oiled pumpkin seeds, tossing well to coat the seeds evenly with the fiery seasoning.

Step 7

Spread the seasoned seeds in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring the seeds halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 9

Once the seeds are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
