Preparation Steps
- Slice off the top of your pumpkin to access the seeds inside. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds along with the stringy flesh into a large bowl of water.
- Let the seeds float to the top while the stringy bits sink. After about 5 minutes, drain and rinse the seeds thoroughly.
- Spread the cleaned seeds on a kitchen towel in a single layer. Pat dry gently and let sit for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the dried seeds with olive oil and sea salt. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring halfway.
- Let the seeds cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally sprinkle with chili powder.

Notes
Ensure seeds are completely dry before roasting for optimal crunch. Experiment with different seasonings for unique flavors. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
