Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Clean the pumpkin seeds by removing any pumpkin flesh or strings. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry using a paper towel.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (163°C).
  • In a bowl, toss the pumpkin seeds with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle paprika, garlic powder, and salt over the pumpkin seeds, adjusting the amount based on your preference. Toss them well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  • Place the seasoned pumpkin seeds in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Air fry the pumpkin seeds at 325°F (163°C) for 10-15 minutes, shaking or stirring them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
  • Check the pumpkin seeds for desired crispness. If they need more time, continue air frying for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Once the pumpkin seeds are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool before serving.
  • Enjoy the keto air fryer pumpkin seeds as a crunchy and flavorful snack!

Notes

  • This recipe uses an air fryer to roast the pumpkin seeds, which helps to achieve a crispy texture.
  • You can adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences. Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as cayenne pepper, cinnamon, or chili powder.
  • Pumpkin seeds can vary in size, so keep an eye on them while air frying to prevent overcooking or burning.
