Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 2In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 1 cup of pumpkin seeds, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika. Stir everything together with a spoon or spatula until the pumpkin seeds are evenly coated.
  3. 3Spread the coated pumpkin seeds in a single, even layer across a large baking sheet.
  4. 4Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes. After 7-10 minutes, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven, stir the pumpkin seeds with a spatula, then return it to the oven to continue roasting until the seeds are golden brown and crunchy.
