I’ve been roasting pumpkin seeds for as long as I can remember. I always loved them so much, and now I got my kids hooked on this crunchy Fall snack! So naturally after we visited the pumpkin farm and my kids carved their little pumpkins, they asked me to make my Everything Bagel Roasted Pumpkin Seeds 🎃.
Instead of tossing the pumpkin seeds away, why not turn them into a perfectly crunchy, salty, and savory snack? These Everything Bagel Roasted Pumpkin Seeds are the ultimate fall treat—made with vegan butter, everything bagel seasoning, and a touch of love straight from your pumpkin carving night.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe 🧡
It’s a zero-waste snack—use those seeds you’d normally toss. You could even use the rest of the pumpkin (if you’re not carving it for a Halloween decoration) to make homemade pumpkin pie from scratch! I have yet to try that.
Packed with cozy, savory flavor. Bursting with warm, savory flavor, these roasted pumpkin seeds capture the comforting essence of fall in every crunchy bite.
Simple ingredients and quick roasting time. You only need whole, raw pumpkin seeds, vegan butter, everything bagel seasoning, and salt. That’s it! And they roast up in just 12-14 minutes.
Naturally gluten-free, vegan, and absolutely addictive. You can’t go wrong with this healthy snack!
Ingredients
Fresh pumpkin seeds (scooped from your pumpkin). We were able to get 2 ½ cups of seeds from your carved pumpkins. These are the unshelled pumpkin seeds, not the little green pumpkin seeds inside the shell. We’re going to roast the whole seeds! 🤗
Vegan butter. You’ll need 2 tablespoons of melted vegan butter to help the seasoning adhere to the seeds but also to help make the seeds nice a crispy.
Everything bagel seasoning. I used this everything bagel seasoning, which is a combination of organic sesame seed, organic garlic, sea salt, organic toasted onion, organic black sesame seed, organic poppy seed.
Salt. Your everything bagel seasoning should have salt in it, but if you prefer a saltier snack, you can add a sprinkle of salt to taste (optional).

How to Make Everything Bagel Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Scoop & Clean the Seeds.
As you carve your pumpkin, set the seeds aside in a bowl. Rinse them well under cold water, removing as much pumpkin pulp as possible. (A little stringy pumpkin left on the seeds is fine!)
Dry Them Well.
Spread the seeds out to dry on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. I let mine dry overnight. The drier they are, the crispier they’ll get in the oven.
Season.
In a bowl, toss the seeds with melted vegan butter and everything bagel seasoning (and any additional salt). Give them a good mix to make sure every seed gets that savory coating.
Roast Until Golden.
Spread the seeds in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast at 400°F for about 12-14 minutes, tossing halfway through. They should be lightly golden and crispy.
Cool & Snack.
Let the seeds cool on the pan—this helps them crisp up even more. Then snack away!
Tips for the Best Pumpkin Seeds
Boiling trick. For extra crispiness, you can boil the seeds for 10 minutes before roasting, then dry and season. I skipped this step, but if your seeds don’t look the greatest, you can try this technique.
Customize the flavor. Everything bagel seasoning is a dream, but you can also try cinnamon sugar, smoked paprika, or maple chili.
Pumpkin carving pro tip. Roast your seeds while you finish carving—your kitchen will smell amazing, and your snack will be ready just in time for lighting those jack-o’-lanterns. 🎃
Why Everything Bagel Seasoning Works So Well ✨
Everything bagel seasoning has that magical mix of sesame seeds, garlic, onion, poppy seeds, and salt—giving these roasted pumpkin seeds the perfect balance of crunchy, savory, and toasty. I mean, who doesn’t love an everything bagel?! Paired with buttery richness (thanks to vegan butter), it’s a combination that tastes like fall comfort with a seedy twist.
How to Store These Pumpkin Seeds
Once completely cooled, store your roasted pumpkin seeds in a bowl or container, uncovered, at room temperature for up to a week. They’re perfect for snacking, topping on salads, or sprinkling over avocado toast for a little extra crunch. When covered and stored in an airtight container they tend to loose their crispiness a bit. You can also store them in the fridge to help keep their crunch.
Pumpkin carving season just got an upgrade, so instead of letting those seeds go to waste, transform them into a crunchy, savory snack that captures everything we love about fall—cozy vibes, simple ingredients, and a little creativity.
