Follow these simple steps to create your own Air Fryer Pumpkin Seeds that will be a hit:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) to preheat while you prepare the seeds.
2. Clean the Seeds: If using fresh pumpkin seeds, rinse them thoroughly to remove any pumpkin flesh. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
3. Toss with Oil: In a bowl, combine the cleaned pumpkin seeds with olive oil. Ensure they are evenly coated.
4. Add Seasoning: Sprinkle salt, garlic powder, paprika, and pepper (or any seasoning of your choice) onto the seeds. Mix them well to distribute the spices.
5. Place in Air Fryer: Spread the seasoned seeds evenly in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd; they should have space to crisp up.
6. Cook: Air fry the seeds for about 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
7. Check for Doneness: The seeds should be golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary based on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on them.
8. Cool Down: Once done, remove the seeds and let them cool for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
9. Taste Test: Enjoy a few to check the seasoning. Adjust if necessary.

With these straightforward steps, you’ll produce Air Fryer Pumpkin Seeds that are incredibly delicious and perfect for snacking!
