This straightforward guide walks you through preparing raw pumpkin seeds with a zesty Cajun kick and savory Worcestershire depth. By rinsing, drying, and evenly coating the seeds before baking them at 425 degrees for roughly 35 minutes, you create a delicious, low-sodium treat that’s perfect for snacking or adding to salads.
Ingredients
Directions
- Start by heating your oven to 425 degrees.
- If the rinsed seeds still feel damp, gently blot them with a clean paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Line a large cookie sheet with aluminum foil, ensuring there is enough space for the seeds to sit in a single layer without overlapping.
- Apply a light coating of baking spray or a thin mist of healthy oil to the foil to keep the seeds from sticking.
- Arrange the pumpkin seeds evenly across the prepared sheet.
- Generously dust the seeds with low or no salt Cajun seasoning, making sure to cover the entire surface.
- Add a second light layer of seasoning to account for any flakes that may fall off while baking.
- Drizzle at least 3 Tablespoons of low or no salt Worcestershire sauce over the seeds.
- Use a metal spatula to toss and turn the seeds, ensuring every piece gets coated with the seasoning and sauce.
- Lay the seeds back out in a single layer on the foil.
- Give the top of the seeds one more quick spritz of baking spray or oil.
- Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the seeds turn a nice shade of brown but remain crisp.
- Keep a close eye on the seeds during baking, turning them at least once to promote even browning.
