Ingredients

  • 1 pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, or oil of choice
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 teaspoons pumpkin spice

How to Make It

1. Step
Carve a hole into the top of the pumpkin, then remove the stem. Scoop out the seeds, separating from the pulp. Transfer the seeds to a medium bowl, discarding the pulp. Save the pumpkin for another use.
2. Step
Thoroughly rinse and drain the seeds, removing any residual pulp.

Spread the seeds on a baking sheet and gently pat dry with a paper towel. Allow the seeds to dry for 30 minutes.
4. Step
Transfer the seeds to a large bowl and toss with the melted butter, salt, sugar, and pumpkin spice until well-coated.
5. Step
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
6. Step
Transfer the seeds to the air fryer basket and roast for 5–10 minutes. Shake the basket or stir the seeds and roast for another 5–10 minutes, or until the seeds reach your desired crispiness.
7. Step
Remove seeds from the air fryer basket and spread on a plate or baking sheet to cool completely.
8. Step
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
