Instructions
- How to clean pumpkin seeds - Remove seeds, discard pulp pieces attached, rinse in a colander until cleaned. Put pot of salted water in pot on stovetop and wait until it is at a rolling boil. Add seeds and allow to boil for 4 minutes until they float. Use a slotted spoon to remove and put on a few paper towels. Fold towel and absorb excess water on seeds until they are dry. Put on new dry paper towels and leave to sit for at least 2 hours or overnight to dry.
- How to cook pumpkin seeds in oven - Clean and dry as directed above. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Put seeds in a bowl with melted butter and toss. Add 1/2 tsp seasoned salt and mix. Pour coated seeds on a non stick baking sheet and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 tsp of salt. Bake for 15 minutes, then use spatula to move around so they can crisp and brown on both sides. Continue cooking for 5-10 minutes or until they're as crispy and browned as you'd like.
- How to cook pumpkin seeds in air fryer - Preheat air fryer to 360 degrees for 5 minutes. Pour dried seeds into a bowl with melted butter and seasoned salt, stir together. Pour coated seeds into air fryer basket, sprinkle a bit of additional seasoned salt on top of them and close lid/drawer. Cook at 360 degrees for 10 minutes total, shaking basket after 5 min or until browned as you like.
- How to cook pumpkin seeds in a pan - Place a dry non stick or well-seasoned skillet or frying pan on medium heat. Preheat the pan. Drizzle melted butter into the hot pan, enough to coat the seeds evenly. Once heated, add the dried pumpkin seeds to the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle salt or your choice of seasonings. Stir frequently to ensure they cook evenly and don't burn. Continue on medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes or until they start to turn golden brown.
- ** For any method allow them to cool completely before eating as this will make them as crispy as possible.
