Ingredients
1½ cups Pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons Melted butter or olive oil
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
Directions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for even cooking and easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds with the melted butter or olive oil, stirring well to coat every seed evenly.
Sprinkle the kosher salt over the coated seeds and toss again to distribute the salt uniformly throughout.
Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them as evenly as possible.
Roast in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the seeds are completely dried and golden brown with a crispy texture.
Remove from the oven and allow the seeds to cool completely on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Transfer the cooled seeds to a serving dish or airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place until ready to serve.
Comments
This is a genuine weeknight winner: pumpkin seeds are cheap and widely available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger year-round, and butter and salt are pantry staples. Cost per serving lands under 50 cents. The stated time of 176 minutes is wildly dishonest—roasting takes 20 to 30 minutes active time, with maybe 10 minutes prep; the recipe appears to pad dramatically, so budget 40 minutes wall-to-wall. The dish is completely hands-off once in the oven, reheats well in a low oven or even eaten at room temperature, and suits any household size because you can roast a single batch or triple it.
