Semi di zucca tostati

Ingredienti

• 3/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Preparazione

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F (177ºC).

2. 2

   Wash pumpkin seeds in a colander to remove the pulp and fibers. Thoroughly dry with a towel.

3. 3

   In a small bowl combine pumpkin seeds, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika (if using), and black pepper.

4. 4

   Lightly grease a sheet pan with olive oil. Evenly spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds on the sheet pan.

5. 5

   Bake until the seeds are toasted and crunchy, about 12 to 15 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes for even toasting, and check for doneness with each stir by tasting a seed for crunchiness.

6. 6

   Transfer the roasted pumpkin seeds to a bowl to cool down.
