Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Pumpkin Seeds.
Step 1
Start by thoroughly rinsing your pumpkin seeds in a colander to eliminate any lingering debris.
Step 2
Once clean, spread the seeds on a plate lined with two paper towels, then cover them with two more towels and gently press down to soak up excess moisture.
Step 3
Let the seeds dry completely for at least 15 minutes.
Step 4
While they dry, preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
Step 5
In a medium bowl, mix the dried pumpkin seeds with avocado oil, smoked paprika, and salt, tossing them until they are evenly coated in the flavorful seasoning.
Step 6
Next, transfer the seasoned seeds to the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer for optimal crispiness.
Step 7
Air fry the seeds for 35 minutes, giving the basket a shake every 10 minutes to promote even cooking.
Step 8
Keep a watchful eye during the last 5 minutes to prevent any unwanted burning.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful crunch of your perfectly air-fried pumpkin seeds, a healthy snack that’s bursting with flavor!.
