Spread them out evenly so that as few seeds as possible are touching one another. Using a measuring spoon, pour about 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the pumpkin seeds. The oil will add flavor and allow seasonings to stick better to the seeds. If you’d rather not add additional flavorings to the seeds, you can place them in the oven at this point. If you’d like to flavor your pumpkin seeds, try one of the recipes given below. This is one of the simpler methods to flavor your pumpkin seeds. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sea salt over your pumpkin seeds while they’re on the baking sheet. Then pour 2–3 tablespoons of a balsamic vinegar over the seeds. The vinegar should all evaporate while the seeds bake, so that the roasted seeds will not be soggy or sitting in a puddle of vinegar. If you’d like a more complex flavor than salt and vinegar, consider ranch. To achieve this, you’ll need to add a handful of ingredients to your seeds while they’re on the baking sheet and before they’re placed in the oven. Top the seeds with 1–2 tablespoons of minced chives, 2 tablespoons of minced parsley, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper. If possible, purchase fresh chives and parsley to mince; these will add a better flavor to your pumpkin seeds. If you don’t have access to fresh ingredients, you can use dried chives and parsley. If you’d prefer a subtler flavor, you can create a sesame ginger flavored batch of pumpkin seeds by adding four ingredients. Pour 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the seeds, followed by 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground ginger. Once you’ve added the listed ingredients, stir your pumpkin seeds with your hands or a spoon so that the seeds are all evenly coated.
