Ingredients
  

For the Pumpkin Seeds

  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds, cleaned and dried Seeds from your jack-o'-lantern work great!
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Any oil can be used.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh garlic can be used but powder sticks better.
  • 3 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese Use fresh grated for better flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Table salt is fine; adjust to taste.
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Add more or less as desired.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Rinse pumpkin seeds in a colander to remove pumpkin guts and dry them off with paper towels.
  • In a bowl, combine the dry seeds with olive oil, garlic powder, parmesan, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  • If using larger parmesan shreds, crush them slightly to help them stick.

Cooking

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the prepped seeds in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Check for doneness; if not crunchy, continue cooking for additional 1-minute intervals until they reach the desired crispness.

Cooling and Serving

  • Let the seeds cool in the fryer for a few minutes. Taste and enjoy!

Notes

Store in a sealed container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness. To revive, air fry for 2-3 minutes.
