Spray a cookie sheet with a thick coating of cooking oil and evenly place the pumpkin seeds on the sheet. Lightly sprinkle pumpkin seeds with salt.

Bake for 10 minutes.

Stir the seeds and cook another 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy (make sure to keep an eye on them in the last few minutes of cooking so they don’t burn).

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Seeds Thoroughly 💧
After rinsing pumpkin seeds, pat them completely dry with paper towels before tossing with oil; excess moisture prevents proper browning and creates steam instead of crispy texture.
Spread in Single Layer 📍
Arrange seeds in a single, even layer on your baking sheet to ensure uniform toasting; overcrowding causes uneven cooking and soggy spots.
Stir Halfway Through 🔄
Shake or stir the seeds about halfway through toasting (around 10-12 minutes) to guarantee even browning on all sides and prevent burning on the bottom.
Season While Warm ⏱️
Apply sea salt and any additional seasonings immediately after removing seeds from the oven while they're still warm; this helps flavors adhere better than seasoning cooled seeds.
Cool Before Storing 🧊
Let toasted seeds cool completely on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes before storing in an airtight container; this prevents condensation that can make them soggy.
