Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, toss the pumpkin seeds with the melted butter until evenly coated. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Add the garlic salt, onion salt, and paprika to the seeds. Toss again to ensure all seeds are well-seasoned. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. The seeds should be golden brown and crisp. (45 minutes)

06

Step

Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The seeds will crisp up further as they cool. (30 minutes)

07

Step

Store in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their delightful crunch.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of smoked paprika.
Ensure the pumpkin seeds are thoroughly dry before seasoning to promote optimal crispiness.
Monitor the seeds closely during baking to prevent burning, as oven temperatures may vary.
Experiment with different spice blends to create your own signature flavor profile.
