Ingredients

  • 1 cup Pumpkin seeds
  • 1 1/2 tsp Butter or olive oil
  • ¼ tsp Garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Clean the Pumpkin - Remove the top of the pumpkin using a sharp knife and by cutting a circle around the stem. Use a spoon to scrape the pulp and seeds from the inside of the pumpkin. Add the pulp and seeds into a bowl of water.
  • Clean the Seeds – Separate the pulp from the seeds and use a colander to rinse the seeds with cold water.
  • Start out by making sure that the pumpkin seeds are completely dry.
  • Transfer the dried pumpkin seeds to a bowl. Add melted butter along with the seasoning. Mix well until all the seeds are completly coated.
  • Spread the seeds in the fryer basket evenly. Cook at 360F for 10-15 minutes. Shake the basket to move the seeds around half way through for even roasting.
  • After the seeds are done, check whether the seeds are crisp to your liking. If not, air fry them for additional 3-5 minutes.
  • Let them cool, adjust the seasoning to your taste and enjoy the snack.
