Just made pumpkin seeds the other day… They are our favorite! Love the variation with ranch and how flavorful that would be!Reply
My favorite part of carving pumpkins is roasting the seeds. This recipe is absolutely delish. We loved the crack spice on the seeds. My kids will be enjoying the pumpkin seed snacks during home school tomorrow too.Reply
I love pumpkin seeds and these ranch pumpkin seeds are just brought up to a whole other level of yum! i have some pumpkin seed I’ve been meaning to use and now i have the perfect way to use them. Thank you for sharing this recipe!Reply
We always roasted our pumpkin seeds growing up every year, but never did I think to add ranch seasoning. Brilliant!! Can’t wait to try these this year. YUM!Reply
I was just looking at the two enormous carving pumpkins I bought this year and wondering if I’d come across a good recipe for the seeds. It’s been a while, so was glad to see your instructions for roasting the seeds, too. Can’t wait!Reply

Wow! These looks really delicious and very enticing. Loved how you conceptualize this recipe and it’s perfectly great for snack in a movie marathon night.Reply
I love these pumpkin seeds! Exactly what I wanted with all the seeds I’ve been pulling out of my pumpkins. This is the perfect flavor combo. Thanks for the recipe!Reply
This is such a great idea! I love pumpkin seeds but never thought to roast them myself and add a little extra flavour. I would probably add a teeny bit of chilli powder too as I would love it really spicy!
