Creating Oven Roasted Pumpkin Seeds is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. Collect Seeds: If you’re starting with fresh pumpkin, scoop out the seeds from the pumpkin cavity.

3. Clean the Seeds: Rinse the seeds under cool water in a colander to remove any pumpkin flesh.

4. Dry the Seeds: Place the clean seeds on a paper towel or kitchen towel to dry for about 15 minutes.

5. Season the Seeds: In a bowl, combine the dried pumpkin seeds with olive oil (or melted butter) and sea salt. Add any additional seasonings as desired.

6. Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

7. Roast the Seeds: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking. Monitor closely to avoid burning.

8. Cool Completely: Once golden brown and crispy, remove the seeds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.

9. Store: Once fully cooled, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
