Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Thoroughly rinse the squash seeds under cold water to remove any clinging pulp or stringy fibers. Pat the seeds completely dry with paper towels. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a bowl, toss the dried squash seeds with olive oil, chili powder, and sea salt, ensuring an even coating. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 5 minutes, until the seeds are lightly golden and toasted, approximately 15-20 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

06

Step

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the roasted squash seeds cool completely on the sheet. This will allow them to crisp up further. (15 minutes)

For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder, smoked paprika, or cumin to the seasoning mix.
Store cooled roasted squash seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
If you prefer a sweeter flavor, toss the seeds with a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of brown sugar before roasting.
