In efforts to keep my spirits up I decided to create a yummy and healthy snack with our leftover pumpkin seeds.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil, then spray with non-stick spray. This recipe is for about 2 cups of seeds that have been rinsed and dried for 24 hours.
Place the seeds in a large bowl and add either 2 tsp of unsalted butter or extra virgin olive oil. Mix well. Next add 2 tsp of kosher salt. I added cayenne pepper, paprika and a touch of cumin. Mix well and pour into the sheet pan evenly. Roast for 45 minutes, stirring about half way through to ensure the seeds are toasted evenly.
Enjoy!
Do you roast your leftover seeds? What’s your favorite fall snack?
Thanks so much for all the love and support. Y’all rock!!

This sounds tasty. I have only roasted pumpkin seeds once. It was years ago and I burnt them. I will have to give it another try.
Let me know if you do!!
I LOVE pumpkin seeds. But bring from Baltimore, I always roast some with Old Bay on them.
Oooooo I love old Bay! Great choice!
I love them and they’re a great source of Magnesium which I have a hard time absorbing so the more the merrier.
They are definitely a healthy snack!
We love roasted pumpkin seeds too! Just made a batch last weekend, but we don’t dry ours out first though! 😀
Awesome! I find they turn out crunchier if you let them dry.
YES. Just…yes. I need to make these myself. I usually buy them roasted. Challenge accepted!
hehe, they are SOOOO yummy.
I adore pumpkin seeds…I can actually eat them raw straight out of the pumpkin. Spaghetti squash seeds too!!
I know, right!? So yummy!
Love these crunchy little snacks!! I usually buy mine but yours looks so good I may have to give it a go next time I buy a pumpkin! 🙂
I buy them normally too, but during Halloween I always roast up the seeds from our pumpkins!
What a great way to use things that most people would throw away.
Thanks, Char! I’m trying to be more creative!
Some of my favourite snacks ever! 😋😋😋xx, Annie | Annie’s Beauty
Thanks, Annie!!

It looks so yummy! Never thought of adding so many spices to them! I have to give it a try… I have always thrown them away 😦
Thanks! Let me know if you try them!!
Will do!
I love pumpkin seeds! Very yummy! 🙂
Me too!!!! 🙂
We are carving pumpkins tonight, I can’t wait!! This is exactly what I’ll be doing with my pumpkin seeds 🙂
Let me know what you think!! I brought them to work today for our potluck and they were a big hit!
Yum! We always roasted our pumpkin seeds. Now we don’t carve pumpkins with the boys. Tom did carve one, and he did something funky with the seeds….
I could eat the entire batch! Lol
I’m kicking myself for throwing away the pumpkin seeds now!
Hehe! They were a big hit!
Yummy! Yummy! They are soooo gooood…. I know 🙂
Right?!? ❤
My kindergarten teacher baked pumpkin seeds one cool fall morning with pumpkin cookies and they were the best thing I had ever eaten! I have yet to be able to recreate those seeds.
It took me several attempts to get this recipe right! 🙂
