Make some quick, crispy, toasted pumpkin seeds! They are oven baked and healthy. Completely oil free and unsalted. Of course, you can add salt if you like. I make these and use them for garnish on dishes or a topping for salads. They are also great to blend up for a pumpkin seed butter, and just to eat plain as a healthy snack or appetizer.
This recipe is easy-peasy! It's truly easy to make these quick toasted pumpkin seeds for your next dish or snack. Just take your pumpkin seeds (I sometimes will soak mine for about 4- 6 hours) and rinse them in a strainer. Then take a pan or cookie sheet and line with parchment paper. Spread out the pumpkin seeds.
Bake and keep stirring around and flipping over. You'll know when they are done because they are turning brown and will have a toasty smell.

Raw Recipe for Toasty Pumpkin Seeds
If you'd like to make the whole recipe raw - simply use a dehydrator, at 115 degrees, to toast up the pumpkin seeds. Dehydrate for 2 -3 hours. Stirring and flipping once or twice for more even air flow.
