How To Cook Pumpkin Seeds In Air Fryer
Craft up a delightful and healthy snack with these irresistibly crunchy Air Fryer Pumpkin Seeds. Easily made in the air fryer, these roasted gems offer endless seasoning possibilities, allowing for a range of flavor experiments from savory to sweet or spicy.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds , with shell
- 1 tablespoon butter, or ghee or olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prep. I prefer using the air fryer recipe for roasting because it's much more practical than using the oven. Typically, I like to preheat my air-fryer.
- Dry the seeds. To begin roasting pumpkin seeds, ensure they're completely dry and the pumpkin pulp removed. Place the dried seeds into a medium bowl.
- Add seasonings. Combine melted butter (or olive oil) with garlic & onion powder, salt, and black pepper, ensuring an even coating over all the seeds. Spread seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer onto the air fryer basket.
- Air fry. Air fry pumpkin seeds at 350°F for around 15-20 minutes until golden brown, remembering to shake the basket halfway through for uniform roasting. Afterward, check their crispiness, and if needed, air fry them for an extra 3-5 minutes for the desired texture.
- Allow to cool and enjoy. Once done, allow them to cool down. Adjust the seasoning to your liking and indulge in this delicious snack.
NOTES
- To Store. I typically keep them at room temperature for up to a week. For longer freshness, refrigerate the seeds and reheat them in the air fryer or oven until crispy when needed. Allow the seeds to reach room temperature before storing.
- To Freeze. When freezing, use an airtight bag or container for up to 6 months. Yet, note that the texture might not be as crispy after thawing. If freezing raw seeds without honey coating, it's best to do so before preparation.
