Ingredients
- 2 cups of pumpkin seeds, thoroughly washed and air-dried
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- A touch of salt, about a teaspoon
- A dollop of Worcestershire sauce, a hint of umami
- A sprinkle of brown sugar for a touch of sweetness
- Just a couple of drops of hot pepper sauce for a subtle kick
Step 1
To kick things off, set your oven to a toasty 300 degrees Fahrenheit (around 150 degrees Celsius). Get a baking pan and cover it with a shiny sheet of aluminum foil.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds with some creamy butter. Toss in a pinch of salt, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, a sprinkle of brown sugar, and a hint of hot pepper sauce. Mix it all together until well combined. Then, lay out the seeds in a neat single layer on the prepared baking pan.
Step 3
Pop the pan into the preheated oven and let the magic happen for about 45 minutes. Keep an eye on them until they turn delightfully crispy. Enjoy these flavorful and crunchy pumpkin seeds as a tasty snack or a crunchy salad topper!
Extra Tips & Suggestions

- 2. Before roasting, ensure that your pumpkin seeds are thoroughly cleaned and dried. This will help them roast evenly and achieve the perfect crunch.
