Parmesan Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Super crunchy, salty and totally delicious these Parmesan Roasted Pumpkin Seeds are a quick and easy favorite fall snack!

Crunchy and perfectly snackable, roasted pumpkin seeds are one of my favorite things about fall! The best part about fresh pumpkin seeds is that they are a once-a-year treat. That makes them all the more delicious.

My favorite way to serve them up is simple. Just season with salt, parmesan cheese and fresh cracked pepper but, the options are endless!

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 1 cup fresh pumpkin seeds
• 3 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• Pinch fresh cracked pepper

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 325ºF. Using a large spoon, scoop the seeds from a carving or sugar pumpkin into a large bowl of water. Use your hands to separate the seeds from the pumpkin pulp. The seeds will float and the pulp will sink. Drain and rinse again under cool water.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat 3 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil. Add the seeds, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel.
3. Spread seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with oil; toss to coat. Bake 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt and cracked pepper; toss to coat.
4. Bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until seeds are crisp and golden brown.
