Whether you're looking to prevent issues or support ongoing health, incorporating pumpkin seeds into your diet is a simple, natural solution. This recipe will show you how to create a delicious, nutrient-packed snack to promote your body’s wellness from the inside out.
Ingredients
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (hulled)
1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
½ teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
½ teaspoon turmeric powder (anti-inflammatory boost)
¼ teaspoon black pepper (helps absorb turmeric)
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional for flavor)
Optional: A pinch of cayenne pepper (for a spicy twist and circulation boost)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Rinse and dry the pumpkin seeds thoroughly if using fresh seeds from a pumpkin.
Toss the seeds in a mixing bowl with olive oil, sea salt, turmeric, black pepper, and any optional spices.
Spread seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Remove from oven when seeds are golden and crisp. Let them cool completely before storing.
