Air Fryer Pumpkin Seeds

 

Air Fryer Pumpkin Seeds are fresh pumpkin seeds that have been fried and seasoned in an air fryer for a quick and simple Fall snack.

Take care to properly wash the pumpkin before removing the top with a sharp knife. Slice a circle around the stem and use a spoon to remove the pulp and seeds. In a large mixing basin, combine the water, pulp, and seeds. Wash the seeds in the water while removing as many seeds as possible from the pulp. Drain the seeds and rinse them in a colander with cold water. Let the pumpkin seeds thoroughly dry before beginning.

In a mixing bowl, combine the dry seeds, melted butter, and spices until well-covered. Spread the seeds equally in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-15 minutes at 360 degrees. Shake the basket halfway through to move the seeds around. When the seeds are done, check to see whether they are crisp enough for you. If you want them more done, cook them for another 3-5 minutes. Allow cooling before adding extra seasoning if desired. Serve and have fun!
