Pumpkin Seed Recipes

This is what you can do with all those seeds after the Jack O' Lantern is carved! Any seasoning will work in place of salt. Try Cajun!

Roasted seeds that don't splinter as much and have a deep rich flavor. A great snack!

Cooking up some winter squash? Stop tossing out the seeds. Seeds from butternut, spaghetti, acorn, and other hard squashes can be roasted into a crispy snack or salad topper, just like pumpkin seeds. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, or curry.

These are a sweet twist on the usual roasted pumpkin seeds. Instead of salty and savory, they remind me of honey-roasted peanuts. Everyone who tastes these LOVES them!

Our family's favorite is this unusually tasty way to use those pumpkins seeds from your Halloween jack-o'-lanterns.

Roasted pumpkin seeds are seasoned with a hint of spice and garlic in this easy fall recipe.

These are NOT your grandma's pumpkin seeds! Smokey, sweet, and wonderfully delicious.

My husband asked if I could make a sweet pumpkin seed batch from all the pumpkin seeds we got from carving jack-o'-lanterns.

So fun to make with the kids! These sweet treats were a big hit with my kids and husband.

Mexican-spiced pumpkin seeds provide a nice alternative to the sweet/salty standard. Optional: Soak pumpkin seeds overnight in salt water.

These toasted snacks can be prepared while your loved ones are still carving the pumpkins.

My own personal creation. All the spice of buffalo wings with a hint of ranch flavor, coupled with the crunch of toasted pumpkin seeds.

My family and I have always loved these during the pumpkin season. Over the years I've come to tweak it to our tastes. More flavor and a little more spice, but NOT overdoing it. I hope you love this as much as we do. Trust me on the seasonings. Seems to be a lot, but SO very worth it. I usually get quite a bit out of these with everyone just passing them around. You can make a bigger batch of these (which I have done many times). Just adjust the ingredients to the amount of pumpkin seeds you have. This a great snack for parties or family night.

If you like your pumpkin seeds crispy, you will love these. The amount of seeds and the amount of seasonings can vary. Just be sure to keep stirring every 10 minutes for at least an hour. I used the convection roast setting on my oven.

I've experimented with many different flavors, but these are my all-time favorite. Three ingredients and a little bit of patience is all you need to whip up this crispy, addictive snack. This is a must for all of you salt and vinegar lovers out there.

Spicy, smoky, and salty pumpkin seeds that are just a little different from your normal recipe--but still just as easy!

Addictive, tasty, crunchy pumpkin seeds. My family and friends beg me for these every year. This recipe is for 1 cup of pumpkin seeds but you can double or triple as needed.

This quick and easy pumpkin seed brittle is addictive and makes a great food gift, too.

Spicy with a hint of sweet air-fried pumpkin seeds. Roasting them in the air fryer gets them super crispy and they are highly addictive. These are best served immediately so make small batches. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

The pumpkins are carved, the pies are baked, but how should you toast those pumpkin seeds? My favorite variation by far are these sweet pumpkin pie-spiced seeds. I've tried the stovetop method for coating the seeds, but they were too sticky and hard for my tastes, and easy to burn too. Try this baking method instead and they'll turn out perfectly toasted and crunchy.

Don't throw away your seeds after carving a pumpkin! After making this recipe, you'll want to buy pumpkins just for the seeds. These sweet and savory seeds are guaranteed to please.

The way my Mom always made them, with a twist by me!

I love pumpkin seeds and craved spicy food while I was pregnant so… I put the two together and this is what I got! I'm not pregnant and still crave them!

I made this recipe up the other day when baking my pie pumpkin up, and it's fantastic. The seeds have the perfect crunch, and are full of flavor. A yummy, easy snack. Definitely double and triple this recipe and enjoy with a group! Delicious.
