roasted pumpkin seeds

Do not waste the seeds from pumpkins, they can be made into a healthy and delicious snack! Learn how to roast pumpkin seeds with this step by step guide.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

pumpkin seeds

olive oil

salt

garlic powder

paprika (optional)

black pepper

Preheat oven to 350°F (177ºC).

Wash pumpkin seeds in a colander to remove the pulp and fibers. Thoroughly dry with a towel.

In a small bowl combine pumpkin seeds, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and black pepper.

Lightly grease a sheet pan with olive oil. Evenly spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds on the sheet pan.

Bake until the seeds are toasted and crunchy, about 12 to 15 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes for even toasting, and check for doneness with each stir by tasting a seed for crunchiness.

Transfer the roasted pumpkin seeds to a bowl to cool down.

This fun recipe yields perfect roasted pumpkin seeds, every time. You'll also find tips on how to clean the seeds, plus flavor variations! Recipe yields about one medium pumpkin's worth of seeds (1 1/2 cups).*

Perfect Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

extra-virgin olive oil butter

maple syrup or honey

fine salt, to taste

Optional flavorings: Freshly ground black pepper,

To clean your pumpkin seeds: Place the pumpkin seeds in a colander. Run water over the seeds and swish them around, removing any obvious bits of pumpkin flesh along the way. Drain off the excess water. Create a double layer of paper grocery bags (one inside the other). Place the seeds inside with a clean, lint-free tea towel or several paper towels. Fold the bag to close and shake it all around! They should be dry enough at this point.

To toast your pumpkin seeds: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

Place your rinsed and dried pumpkin seeds on the prepared baking sheet. Add the oil, sweetener (if using) and salt. Stir until all of the seeds are coated, then spread them in an even layer across the baking sheet.

Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the seeds are fragrant and turning golden. Season them with additional salt, to taste. If desired, season with black pepper, to taste, or stir in the pumpkin spice blend or curry powder. Enjoy.

Cooled, leftover pumpkin seeds will keep well in a bag at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Helpful instructions for drying the seeds! Beware ever heating olive oil or honey to these temps though - very bad for you. Try coconut oil. It’s delicious! 

I love pumpkin seeds.  I’ve always wanted to bake some at home, but did not know how.  I will be carving pumpkins this weekend, and plans to use your recipe.

We usually leave bits of pumpkin on the seeds and find that they are yummy when they are baked and crunchy. We love the idea of pepper and maple syrup, can't wait to try!

I wasn't skeptical of the paper-bag method, but I was very curious because I hadn't heard of it before -- happy to say it delivered! The sheet on the lower rack of the oven was perfect at 12 minutes, the top shelf took just a bit longer. Easy peasy and a fun way to spend some time with a buddy!

Every year a try to roast my pumpkin seeds with a different variety of seasonings.  These were by far the best!  Never thought of putting a bit of sweetness to them.  My 8 year old couldn't get enough of them.  Thanks so much for the recipe!

You can also use Grapeseed Oil.  It has a higher heat tolerance the olive.  I use cumin, chili powder, cayenne, and salt.

The texture of the seeds was a little tough but I am not sure there is a way to fix that with any recipe.

Season pumpkin seeds with almost anything from your spice cabinet. Boiling the seeds in salted water for 5 minutes before roasting helps to clean and season them. Before baking, pat the boiled seeds very dry otherwise they will not brown or crisp.

I have been roasting pumpkin seed for years and let me tell you that these are the best yet. Boiling them in salted water is the trick and I roasted them with flavoured salt, smoked paprika and a pinch of cinnamon.  I can't stop eating them.  Thanks for sharing.

Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

After you've carved your jack-o-lantern for Halloween, it's time to roast perfect pumpkin seeds! Here's the recipe for how you can make this salty and crunchy snack.

Perfect Pumpkin Seeds

Lawry’s Seasoned Salt

Scrape out and remove seeds from your two pumpkins. Wash and clean your seeds from your pumpkin, making sure you remove any unwanted pumpkin rinds or deformed seeds. Wash in a colander and once again remove any unwanted items.

Soak the clean seeds in a bowl full of water for 1/2 hour on the kitchen counter or overnight in the refrigerator. Drain the seeds, discarding the water.

Fill a pot with water and a dash of salt (enough water so that it will cover the seeds). Bring the water to a boil. Place seeds into the boiling water and boil gently for about 10 minutes.

Turn off the heat and drain the seeds and place back into your empty bowl. Toss seeds with olive oil. Lay out seeds in a thin layer onto a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with Lawry&#8217;s Seasoned Salt. Place in oven and move and turn the seeds over about every 10 minutes, making sure they are not burning. Seeds are done after about 40 minutes or when they become firmer and are no longer soft. You do not want dark spots on your seeds, you want them to be a darker yellow.

Season with additional salt if desired. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Place into a clean mason jar or another food-safe storage container. Enjoy!

I love roasted pumpkin seeds but I have never made them on my own before. I tried this tonight after I carved my pumpkin. I was so excited. I followed all the directions to the T, so I think my oven may cook hotter than the temp it's set on because when my second 10 minute timer went off and I went to stir them around a bit they were burnt. I will definitely try this method again though and check them around the 12-15 minute mark.

Thanks for the recipe!! I share your link in my latest blog post, 50 Things to do this Fall -  Thank you :)

I tried making these today, and after 10 minutes in the oven there were dark spots all over the seeds. What did I do wrong? I've checked the temperature on the oven and it seems to be right.

We carved pumpkins yesterday, and I made the seeds today. I painstakingly followed these instructions, and thought to myself, I’m not sure if I’ll do all this next time. Seems like a lot of work. WRONG. These are the most amazing pumpkin seeds I have ever had in my life. Just the other week I bought a bag from the store, and I never want store bought ones again. Worth every single step. Except next time, I want to do more seeds! They’ll be gone before I know it!

I LOVE this recipe! My favorite after fall pumpkin carving :)

Thank you for sharing! I planned on baking pumpkin seeds next week and was searching for a little while for one that looked easy!

Great way to save pumpkin seeds. What a good idea to save !

I love this recipe! I have used spaghetti squash too and they taste delicious!!!

I like to use about 1 cup of salt when I boil the seeds, making them similar to the salted pumpkin seeds we used to buy when I was a kid.  Just checking recipes to remind me of the baking temp and time.  Thanks!

I have been making pumpkin seeds, since I was a little girl, and that was 50 years ago. Although I have made them similarly to this,and this is the better of the recipes as far as cooking the integrity. I use garlic salt and cayenne pepper for flavor though, we like it hot!! all-in-all, a great recipe thank you!

I made this recipe and needed to bake it quite a bit longer but they turned out fantastic! Love the taste! 
Thank you!

Yep... definitely a keeper! I did sprinkle a bit more seasoned salt the first 2 times I stirred the seeds while they were still a bit wet.  Love how they turned out nice and crisp!!

This is the first time I've boiled pumpkin seeds before bakng. It made a difference and roasted up much better. Great taste too! Thanks.

Perfectly crunchy. No need to throw away the shells. I took your advice with the time. I swished the seeds around every 10 minutes and took them out of the oven at 37 minutes. Yum!

No wonder my pumpkin seeds didn’t ever come out right. I never knew to boil them first. Wow I’m very impressed using this recipe.
