Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Toss pumpkin seeds with olive oil and honey until evenly coated.
- 2
Add cumin, cayenne, paprika, and salt. Toss to coat.
- 3
Spread in a single layer in the basket. Air fry at 325°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking every 3-4 minutes.
- 4
Seeds are done when golden and fragrant. They crisp up more as they cool.
- 5
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Tip: Low temperature is key — high heat burns the outside before the inside toasts. Shake frequently for even browning. The honey caramelizes into a light candy coating.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 12 minutes vs ~19 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🌡️Concentrated heat circulation produces even browning and a crispier crust than a full-size oven.
- 🔥Rapid air circulation delivers oven-quality results in a fraction of the time.
