Ingredients

  • ~ 4 Tablespoons pumpkin seeds
  • 1 Tablespoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon chilli powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • If you're using pumpkin seeds from a fresh pumpkin, begin by removing as much of the orange pulp from the seeds as possible.

  • Wash any remaining pulp from the seeds using a colander, then spread the seeds out to dry on some paper towels.

  • Add the seeds to a bowl with the oil and spices, and mix well to combine.

  • Spread the spiced seeds out in a single layer in an air fryer basket, and cook for 5-8 minutes at 190°C (375°F). Give them a shake every few minutes, and remove them from the air fryer when they look nice and crispy, as they can burn easily.
