Baked pumpkin seeds: a Halloween tradition!
Is baking pumpkin seeds a tradition in your house? We always made them growing up. Why not? You're going to carve the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds anyway. That's half the work, done. From there you just need to rinse the seeds, pat them dry and coat them with a little flavor-flave.
Some for the kids, some for the spice-lovers 🙂
I typically make one batch of cinnamon sugar pumpkin seeds. So if you're into that, or have kids who would be, you can follow the steps sames as outlined below, just use cinnamon and sugar and a pinch of salt in place of the savory spices.
★ Tips & FAQs ★
Here are a few tips for pumpkin seed success.
The key to perfect pumpkin seeds every time is patting them dry before you toss them in seasonings. Also, be sure to cook them for a full hour. You want your pumpkin seeds to be light and crunchy, not soggy or chewy.
They have a medium heat level — just enough to give you a kick without overpowering the savory garlic flavor. You can adjust the spice by using more or less sriracha to suit your taste.
Make sure the seeds are completely dry before seasoning and roasting. Store the cooled seeds in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them crunchy.
They’ll stay fresh for about 1–2 weeks if stored in an airtight container. For longer shelf life, refrigerate them and re-toast briefly before eating if needed.
