Print Recipe

A quick, addictive, and zero-waste snack made by roasting pumpkin seeds with neutral oil and everything bagel seasoning until golden and crunchy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh pumpkin seeds (pepitas), cleaned and dried
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (avocado oil) or melted butter
  • 2–3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Pinch of garlic powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Cut pumpkin or squash in half and scoop out seeds and pulp into a large bowl.
  3. Rinse seeds in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water, rubbing away slimy strings to ensure they are clean and separate.
  4. Pat seeds dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  5. Place dry seeds in a mixing bowl and drizzle with oil or melted butter. Toss until every seed is lightly coated and glossy.
  6. Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning and kosher salt over the seeds. Toss again to distribute spices evenly.
  7. Spread seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  8. Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to ensure even browning. Remove when golden brown and nutty smelling.
  9. Let seeds cool completely on the pan before serving or storing, as they will crisp up further as they cool.

Notes

Do not roast at high heat (above 350°F) as the spices will burn. Ensure seeds are thoroughly dried before roasting to achieve crispiness. Seeds continue to crisp as they cool. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
