How Long to Cook Pumpkin Seeds

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of pumpkin seed
  • 1 tablespoon of avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of curry powder
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F while lining a baking sheet with parchment paper (or more if making a larger batch).
  2. Scoop out the seeds of your pumpkin and try to remove as much of the stringy stuff as you can. Then, place the pumpkin in a colander or fine mesh strainer and thoroughly rinse to remove any leftover goop. (If using store-bought seeds, measure them out and put them directly on the baking sheet).
  3. Place the cleaned pumpkin seeds on a towel to dry completely. This will help in the crisping of the pumpkin seeds in the oven.
  4. Drizzle oil (1 Tbsp / 15 ml per 1 cup / 64 g seeds) over dried pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet. Toss in salt and any other desired seasonings (Shawarma or Curry) and toss to coat thoroughly.
  5. Oven bakes for about 20-30 mins, or until crisp and light golden brown.
  6. Allow to completely cool before pouring into a tight-fitting container, such as a mason jar. Keep at 25 degrees Celsius for at least a week or in the freezer for up to a month.
