Cut the top off the pumpkin and remove the pulp and seeds from the inside. Place the seeds in a colander and rinse the seeds.
Place the seeds in a medium-sized pot and cover with 3 cups of water and 1 Tablespoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil and allow to boil for about 7 minutes. Once done boiling, drain the seeds in a colander and then place them on a clean kitchen towel and pat the seeds dry.
Place the seeds in the air fryer basket. Close the air fryer basket and air fry at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes, open the basket and lightly spray the pumpkin seeds with oil, and then stir to ensure all the seeds are covered. Close the basket and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes at 350F, stirring halfway through.
Add any desired seasonings when there are about 1-2 minutes left on the air fryer cook time.
Once the seeds are roasted, remove them and spread them on a sheet pan. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
These are good for snacking as is but you could use these for salads, on top of morning oatmeal, or granola.
