Ingredients

• 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Rinse the raw pumpkin seeds in a colander under cold water to remove any remaining pumpkin pulp, then pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the dried pumpkin seeds with olive oil, finely chopped fresh rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the seeds are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overlapping to promote even roasting.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the seeds for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning.

Step 6

Remove the seeds from the oven when they are golden and aromatic. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up further.

Step 7

Once cooled, transfer the rosemary garlic pumpkin seeds to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a crunchy snack.
