These roasted pumpkin seeds are perfect as a soup or salad topper, but they are also great to snack on. I made these seeds to go with my recipe for roasted squash soup but feel free to enjoy them any way you like!

I’ve found these to work better with parchment paper but if you don’t have any you can do without, maybe just turn the heat on your oven down a bit so they don’t burn.

Can I use a different oil?
You can use whatever neutral oil you have on hand. I prefer a non-GMO oil and I picked avocado oil as it has a high smoke point and therefore it won’t chemically change baking.
Missing a spice?
No problem, if your missing one just leave it out.
Unsalted pumpkin seeds?
If you are using unsalted pumpkin seeds add an extra 1/8 teaspoon sea salt!
To avoid burning-
Make sure to check these throughout cooking and turn at least once to avoid too much crispy action.

- To a baking sheet add parchment paper and then spread the seeds in a thin layer.
