Ingredients

1 cup butternut squash seeds or other hard squash seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
0.5 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Rinse the squash seeds thoroughly to remove any remaining pulp or strings. Pat the seeds completely dry and place them in a bowl. Toss with olive oil and salt, ensuring they're evenly coated for maximum flavor.
Spread the seasoned seeds in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet for even roasting.
Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the seeds begin to pop and turn golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispness before serving.
