Pumpkin seeds in an air fryer

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium pumpkin (about 4 kg, about 1 cup pumpkin seeds)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp coarse salt
  • Special equipment: air grill with a capacity of 6 liters.

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
  2. Cut a 25cm (10 in) circle out of the top of the pumpkin and remove the top. Using a large spoon, scrape the seeds into a bowl. Separate the seeds from the stringy pulp, then rinse them in a colander under cold water. Shake off any excess water, but do not pat the seeds dry with paper towels (they will stick to the paper).
  3. Combine pumpkin seeds, olive oil, and salt in a clean bowl. Place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let the seeds cool.
