This year, I set off on a rigorous round of recipe testing to finally find a recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds to call my own. I tried low and slow versus a quick roast, wet versus dry, and all kinds of spice combinations. What I came up with was a recipe for seriously flavorful, lightly spiced, totally crunchy roasted pumpkin seeds. Let the kids have the candy — I’ll take the pumpkin seeds!
I found that the most flavorful and least fibrous pumpkin seeds came from a low and slow method, which I’ve detailed below.

Chili Soy Roasted Pumpkin Seed
Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin seeds, rinsed and patted dry
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
- Spread the seeds out on a rimmed baking sheet. Whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, spices, and salt, and drizzle onto the seeds. Give everything a quick stir.
- Pop the baking sheet into the oven, and bake for 55 – 65 minutes. Every 20 minutes or so, give the baking sheet a good shake. Once out of the oven, seeds will crisp as they cool. Keep leftovers in a sealed container for up to one day, and toast just before serving.
