Air Fry Pumpkin Seed Recipes

AIR FRYER PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Place pumpkin seeds in a small colander and rinse well.
• Lay 2 sheets of paper towels on a plate. Place pumpkin seeds on the towels and cover with 2 more paper towels. Press down to remove most of the water. Let dry for a minimum of 15 minutes.
• Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Transfer seeds to a medium bowl. Add avocado oil, paprika, and salt. Use a medium spoon to mix. Place the seeds in the air fryer basket and cook for 35 minutes, shaking the basket frequently. Watch carefully during the last 5 minutes; the pumpkin seeds can go from perfectly cooked to burned very quickly.

AIR FRYER SALT AND VINEGAR PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Place pumpkin seeds in a bowl. Pour vinegar over the top and let soak for at least 1 hour. Drain off vinegar and stir in salt.
• Preheat an air fryer to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Place seeds in the basket and cook for 30 minutes, shaking the basket every 10 minutes.
• Transfer seeds to a paper towel lined plate and let sit for 5 minutes.

AIR FRYER PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 360 degrees F.
• Cut a 10-inch circle in the top of the pumpkin and remove the top. Scrape out the pulp and seeds with a large spoon and transfer to a bowl. Separate the seeds from the stringy pulp, then rinse the seeds in a colander under cold water. Shake the seeds dry; it's okay if they're damp so don't blot them with paper towels (they will stick to the paper).
• Toss together the pumpkin seeds, olive oil and salt in a clean bowl. Transfer to the air fryer basked in a single layer and cook, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until lightly golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Cool before serving.
