This roasted pumpkin seeds recipe made with some flavourful spices of choice can be served as a snack to be consumed on the side or on top of desserts and salads for a crunchy kick:)
Scoop the seeds out of the pumpkin. Place them in a sieve or colander and wash them using cold or lukewarm water till the pumpkin threads are washed off completely and the seeds are less sticky
Towel dry them so that the water is completely dried out from the seeds. I rub the seeds using a towel and let them lay on it for sometime in a clean, dry place till its ready to be used
Pre-heat the oven to 400℉. In a baking dish, add the dried seeds, some olive oil and coat the seeds in it nicely. Add salt, pepper, cajun spice mix or any other seasonings of choice and let it roast for 12-15mins in the Oven
Once ready, you will hear a nice crunchy sound if you shake the baking tray and voila it’s ready to be served. If you want to use in desserts, then adjust the flavors and seasonings accordingly!
