Homemade Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Course Snack
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • Washed and cleaned seeds from one pumpkin or squash approx. 1 cup seeds
  • 2 cups filtered water
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • ground cayenne to taste

Instructions

  1. Soak clean seeds in filtered water overnight; transfer to a container that allows the seeds to drain, rinse and drain the seeds every four to eight hours for a day or two.
  2. Drain one final time, then place seeds in a dehydrator or an oven set at 200 and then turned off and let dry overnight (or until sufficiently crispy).
  3. Once activated (activation happens from the soaking and draining!) and dried, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place the seeds on a baking tray. Drizzle with coconut oil, toss to evenly coat, then salt, pepper and cayenne to your heart's content.
  4. Roast for about 10 minutes, checking halfway through to move the seeds around a bit to avoid burning.
