Don't toss those pumpkin seeds! Transform them into a healthy and delicious snack with this easy air fryer recipe. Forget roasting in the oven for ages; air frying pumpkin seeds is quicker, simpler, and guarantees maximum crunch.
First, thoroughly rinse and dry your pumpkin seeds. Toss them in a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil (or your favorite cooking oil), a pinch of salt, and any other spices you desire! Garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, or even a touch of cinnamon for a sweet and savory treat are all fantastic options.
Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning!
Let the air fryer pumpkin seeds cool slightly before enjoying. These make a great topping for salads, soups, or simply as a satisfying snack straight from the air fryer. Enjoy the taste of fall in every bite!
