Description
Transform your leftover pumpkin seeds into a crunchy, delicious snack using your air fryer. A fun and easy way to make the most of your pumpkins this fall!
Ingredients
Scale
- Fresh pumpkin seeds (scooped from a pumpkin or store-bought)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
- Salt to taste (sea salt recommended)
Instructions
- Clean the pumpkin seeds by rinsing them in a colander and shaking off excess goop.
- Let the seeds dry on a towel for at least 10 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix the seeds with olive oil and salt, tossing with your hands to combine.
- Spread the seeds in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Check for a golden brown color and nutty smell. If they are chewy, air fry for an additional 2 minutes.
Notes
Ensure the seeds are dried thoroughly before seasoning to achieve maximum crunchiness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
