Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other spices instead of paprika and garlic powder?

Yes, you can substitute paprika and garlic powder with other spices according to your preference. For a smoky flavor, consider using smoked paprika or cumin. If you want a herby taste, try adding dried rosemary or thyme.

How should I store leftover roasted pumpkin seeds?

Store leftover roasted pumpkin seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can keep them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze them for several months.

What should I do if my pumpkin seeds aren't crispy after baking?

If your pumpkin seeds aren't crispy after the suggested baking time, try leaving them in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning. You can also consider lowering the oven temperature slightly as higher heat may cause uneven cooking.
