5. Cool & Store:
- Remove from the oven when the seeds are golden brown and crisp. Let them cool completely on the pan; they will continue to crisp as they cool.
- Once fully cooled, transfer to an airtight container.
Storage
Store roasted pumpkin seeds in a sealed jar or airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. For longer freshness and extra crunch, keep them in the refrigerator. Be sure they are fully cooled before sealing to prevent moisture buildup.
Tips & Variations
- Want even crunchier seeds? Let them dry for a few hours or overnight before roasting.
- Try a sweet-spicy combo: cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of cayenne.
- Use them as toppings: Sprinkle over salads, soups, or roasted veggies for a savory crunch.
