Ingredients
  

  • 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.
