In savory dishes, Pumpkin seeds add texture to grain bowls, pesto, salsa verde, and traditional sauces like mole. in sweet recipes they appear in granola, cookies, muffins, and chocolate bark.
Preparation is simple: rinse to remove pulp, pat dry, toss with a bit of oil and salt or spice blend, then roast until golden and fragrant. Try smoked paprika and cumin for a smoky snack, maple and cinnamon for a desserty crunch, or soy and sesame for an Asian-inspired glaze. Pumpkin seeds are also spectacular as a finishing touch—sprinkle them over creamy soups, avocado toast, or roasted squash to add both visual appeal and a satisfying bite.
