- Clean the pumpkin seeds thoroughly: Remove any pulp or fibers from the seeds to ensure they are clean and ready to roast.
- Season the pumpkin seeds generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite spices to flavor the seeds. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil for extra richness.
- Roast the pumpkin seeds at a high temperature: This will help them to toast evenly and develop a crispy texture.
- Keep an eye on the pumpkin seeds while they are roasting: They can burn easily, so it is important to stir them occasionally and remove them from the oven as soon as they are golden brown.
- Let the pumpkin seeds cool completely before storing them: This will help them to stay crispy.
