AIR FRYER PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Place pumpkin seeds in a small colander and rinse well.
• Lay 2 sheets of paper towels on a plate. Place pumpkin seeds on the towels and cover with 2 more paper towels. Press down to remove most of the water. Let dry for a minimum of 15 minutes.
• Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Transfer seeds to a medium bowl. Add avocado oil, paprika, and salt. Use a medium spoon to mix. Place the seeds in the air fryer basket and cook for 35 minutes, shaking the basket frequently. Watch carefully during the last 5 minutes; the pumpkin seeds can go from perfectly cooked to burned very quickly.

AIR FRYER PUMPKIN SEEDS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Harvest pumpkin seeds by carefully cutting a pumpkin in half and scraping the insides with a fork.
• Rinse the seeds using a fine-mesh strainer and run warm water over them, picking away any pumpkin guts.
• In a medium saucepan , bring 1 quart of water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the pumpkin seeds and boil for 5 minutes, then drain.
• In a medium bowl, add the pumpkin seeds with melted butter, salt, and garlic powder and toss to combine and fully coat the pumpkin seeds.
• Once coated, add seeds to the air fryer. Fry at 365 F until browned and crisp, about 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
