Notes
You can add a variety of seasonings to the pumpkin seeds before roasting to give them extra flavor. Some options might include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, or Parmesan cheese.
Variation: You can also roast pumpkin seeds on the stovetop by heating a small amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the seeds and cook, stirring frequently, until they are crispy and golden brown. This method is faster than roasting in the oven, but requires more attention and stirring to prevent burning.
