Instructions
Prepare and Dry the Seeds
After scooping seeds from the pumpkin, rinse them in a colander under cold water to remove any stringy pulp. Spread on a kitchen towel and pat completely dry before seasoning.
Season the Seeds
Toss the dried pumpkin seeds with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until every seed is evenly coated.
Spread and Roast
Spread the seeds in a single even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 18 to 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Cool Before Serving
Remove from the oven when the seeds are golden and crispy. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes as they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
