Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin seeds. For the best results, use raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds. You can find them at most grocery stores in the bulk section or online.
  • Roast the pumpkin seeds before seasoning them. This will help them to crisp up and absorb the flavors of the seasonings better.
  • Use a variety of seasonings. The recipe in the article uses garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper, but you can use any combination of seasonings that you like. Some other popular options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, and oregano.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. When you're roasting the pumpkin seeds, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Roast the pumpkin seeds until they're golden brown. This will take about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the seeds and your oven. Keep an eye on them so that they don't burn.

Conclusion:

Roasted pumpkin seeds are a healthy and delicious snack that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy snack, give roasted pumpkin seeds a try. You won't be disappointed!
