Butternut squash, acorn squash, spaghetti squash, and even watermelon seeds can make a delicious, easy, and nutritious snack!

  1. Remove as much of the pumpkin/squash flesh as possible from the seeds. A little leftover flesh is okay. Lightly season with salt.
    1. Air fry the seeds for 1 hour at 350F, or until crispy and lightly browned. You can also roast in a 400F oven.
    Notes
    1. Note that 100 g of raw seeds will become roughly 60 g of roasted seeds. To end up with 2 servings of roasted seeds of 1 oz (28 g) each, you will need roughly 94 g of raw seeds, or roughly 1 1/2 cups.
