    Pumpkins are so much more than a decoration. Of course, we love to carve pumpkins each year, but we also like to use our pumpkins in the kitchen too.

    We love to roast pie pumpkins to make pumpkin puree. We love the pumpkin flavor and can't get enough of it!

    If you love pumpkin flavors too, you need to check out our air fryer pumpkin chocolate chip muffins!

    How to clean pumpkin seeds:

    Carving and cleaning out the pulp and seeds of a pumpkin can truly be a sensory experience. There are lots of different textures inside that pumpkin!

    1. Remove the seeds and pulp from the pumpkin.
    2. Separate the seeds from the pulp as best you can.
    3. Put the seeds in a small holed strainer and rinse. Remove pulp that is stuck.
    4. Repeat and rinse if needed until pulp is all removed.

    2. Put the seeds into a boiling pot of water. Boil the seeds for 5 minutes. Then drainer the water and put seeds into a bowl.
    3. Add melted butter and garlic salt to the pumpkin seeds. Stir to combine

    Air Fryer Pumpkin Seed Tips:

    Boil the seeds - You "can" air fry the seeds without boiling but we have found that it's best to boil first.

    You do not need to dry the seeds out before air frying. We fry the pumpkin seeds wet.

    The pumpkin seeds do not fly around. That is a common question that we get. We have made this many times and haven't had that problem. I believe the weight of the wet seeds helps them not to fly.

    You can adjust the flavors. Add any spices you'd like.

    We love that these pumpkin seeds are:

    gluten free

    nut free

    egg free

    dairy free (if you use dairy free butter)
