Air Fryer Pumpkin Seeds
Wondering what to do with all those pumpkin seeds you've harvested from inside your baking pumpkins this season? We used to bake them, but the air fryer is much faster and the seeds get super crunchy and evenly cooked.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup (64 g) pumpkin seeds, wash and dried
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
Instructions
- Cut open a pumpkin and scoop out the insides. Put the seeds into a colander and wash away any remaining pulp.
- Lay the seeds out on a kitchen towel to dry for at least 2 hours or overnight until fully dry.
- Coat dried seeds with 1 teaspoon of olive oil then sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder and salt. Stirring to coat.
- Spread the seeds out in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. Check at 10 minutes, shake, then add 5 minutes increments until browned.
All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
