1 (0.4-ounce) packet dry ranch salad dressing mix (e.g., Hidden Valley)
Kosher salt (to taste)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Separate seeds from pumpkin pulp; no need to rinse.
3. Spread seeds on a baking sheet and let dry for 30 minutes.

5. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Notes
Don’t rinse seeds — keeping the pumpkin bits adds flavor and helps seasoning stick.
Use two baking sheets if roasting a large batch to avoid overcrowding.
Stir every 5 minutes during roasting to ensure even crispiness.
