Delicious
Roasted pumpkin seeds are a crunchy and satisfying snack you can eat anywhere. They are great on their own or sprinkled in a sandwich, soup or salad.
Quick and Easy to Make
To make roasted pumpkin seeds, simply remove the seeds from your pumpkins, rinse and dry them. Once dry, lay them out on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the seasoned seeds in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through. When they’re golden brown, they’re ready to enjoy.
Packed Full of Nutrients
Roasted pumpkin seeds are rich in nutrients and a healthy snack you can enjoy throughout the day. They are high in fiber, healthy fatty acids, magnesium and zinc.
Convenient
One of the great things about pumpkin seeds is the sheer convenience. Not only are they quick and easy to make, carry round and store, but they can be stored in the cupboard for about 2 months. This means you can enjoy them in your own time.
