For a vegan option, substitute the butter with olive oil or melted coconut oil. Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your preference. For a milder flavor, start with 1/2 teaspoon. Ensure the pumpkin seeds are thoroughly dried before roasting to achieve maximum crispness. Store cooled pumpkin seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
