Crispy Roasted Butternut Squash Seeds

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Roasted Butternut Squash Seeds.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil—this will make cleanup a breeze! Next, take your butternut squash seeds and give them a good rinse, making sure to remove all the pesky strings and pulp.

2. Step 2

   Once they’re clean, pat them dry with a towel or let them air dry in a strainer for a bit.

3. Step 3

   Now, spread those shiny, clean seeds out in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.

4. Step 4

   Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over them, then give them a gentle stir to ensure every seed is nicely coated.

5. Step 5

   For a little kick, sprinkle on some chili powder and sea salt to suit your taste—feel free to get creative with the seasoning! Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the seeds bake, stirring every five minutes to keep them from getting too cozy.

6. Step 6

   In about 15 minutes, they should turn a lovely golden color.

7. Step 7

   Once they’re done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a moment.
