Clean the Seeds: Rinse the seeds in several changes of water, ensuring that all the pumpkin residue is washed away.
-
Strain the Seeds: Transfer the cleaned seeds to a colander and let them strain thoroughly, allowing excess water to drip off.
-
Dry the Seeds: Line a baking sheet with kitchen roll and spread the seeds over it, ensuring they are laid out evenly. For optimal results, leave them to dry overnight.
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180ºC (350ºF) to preheat while you prepare the seeds for roasting.
-
Season the Seeds: Once the seeds are dry, spread them on an oven tray. Drizzle the rapeseed oil over them, then rub the seeds to ensure they are evenly coated. Sprinkle the salt and chili flakes on top, mixing well.

Roast the Seeds: Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast the seeds for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
-
Cool and Store: Once roasted, remove the seeds from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Once cooled, store them in an airtight jar to keep them fresh and crunchy. Enjoy them as a nutritious snack or sprinkle them over salads, soups, or any dish that could use a crunchy topping!
