Transform humble pumpkin seeds into a powerhouse of flavor and nutrition with this vibrant, salt-free recipe. Roasted to golden perfection, these seeds are infused with warm spices for a truly healing and satisfying snack.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, ground turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and ground ginger until well combined.
Place the raw pumpkin seeds in a separate bowl. Drizzle the spiced coconut oil mixture over the seeds, ensuring every seed is generously coated. Spread the seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, and drizzle any remaining oil mixture evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until the seeds are lightly golden and fragrant, approximately 15 minutes. Turn off the oven and stir the seeds to ensure even crisping. Leave the seeds inside the oven as it cools completely, allowing them to further dry and intensify in flavor.
