Simple & Healthy Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups raw whole pumpkin seeds
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Directions:

1. Wash and dry pumpkin seeds for 24 hours stirring occasionally allowing them to fully dry.
2. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
3. Toss clean and dry pumpkin seeds with coconut oil, sea salt, and an optional additional seasoning if desired.
4. Spread in a single layer across a cookie sheet.
5. Roast 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy and lightly browned.

Tips: 

Make sure the seeds are fully dry. If they're still wet, they won't get crunchy and crispy in the oven.

Season to taste. Feel free to add more savory seasonings like paprika, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Or for a sweeter version, add cinnamon.

Substitutions. Feel free to use melted butter or avocado oil in place of the coconut oil.
