    A clear glass bowl filled with freshly cleaned and thoroughly dried pumpkin seeds sits on a white marble countertop. The seeds are pale in color and spread evenly in the bowl, with a soft white cloth next to it, suggesting gentle drying. The clean, minimalistic setup emphasizes this crucial preparation step before mixing the seeds with oil and honey.
  • In a bowl, mix seeds with pumpkin seed oil (or olive oil), honey, and a pinch of flaky sea salt.

A silver spoon stirs the ingredients, evenly coating the seeds. The glossy shine from the honey and oil is visible. The clean white marble background ensures full attention on the mixing process.
  • Spread the coated seeds in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

The seeds have started to caramelize, showing early signs of a crispy finish. The baking tray rests on a white marble countertop, keeping the visual setting minimal and tidy.
  • Keep an eye to prevent burning—seeds should be caramelized and crunchy.
  • Let them cool completely; they’ll crisp up more as they cool.
  • Store in an airtight jar for up to a week (if they last that long!).
