Cuisine: American

Servings:

Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray. Set aside.
Place seeds in the bowl with melted butter and garlic salt and toss to coat. Spread seeds in a single layer onto the foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes until golden, tossing occasionally. Store properly.

Recipe Notes:

Boil seeds in salted water before roasting for extra-clean, crisp results.
Dry seeds completely overnight so they roast evenly and don’t turn chewy.
Switch up the seasoning—go savory with garlic salt or spicy with cayenne, or make them sweet with cinnamon sugar.

Seasoning options:

STORE cooked pumpkin seeds in an airtight container at room temperature.
