Equipment
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp chili powder or any seasoning of choice
Instructions
- Rinse pumpkin seeds in a colander to remove any pumpkin flesh. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Place the dried pumpkin seeds in a bowl and add olive oil, tossing to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle chili powder over the seeds and mix until well-coated.
- Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Set the air fryer to 370°F and cook for 7 minutes.
- Halfway through, shake the basket to ensure even cooking. If any seeds stick together, separate them with a spatula.
- When the timer ends, check the seeds for crispiness. If needed, air fry for an additional 1–2 minutes.
- Remove the seeds from the air fryer, place them in a bowl, and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust cooking time based on the size of your seeds; larger seeds may require an extra minute or two for optimal crunch.
