Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step

Create the Flavor Fusion: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing mix, lemon pepper, and seasoned salt. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Coat the Seeds: Add the pumpkin seeds to the bowl and toss until they are uniformly coated in the flavorful mixture. Ensure every seed is kissed with the vibrant sauce. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

Spread and Bake: Spread the coated pumpkin seeds in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures even toasting. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

06

Step

Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes to promote even browning and prevent burning, until the seeds are golden brown and wonderfully crunchy, approximately 45 minutes. (Bake time: 45 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of smoked paprika to the buffalo-ranch mixture.
Ensure the pumpkin seeds are completely dry before coating to allow the sauce to adhere properly.
Monitor the seeds closely during the final 15 minutes of baking to prevent burning, as oven temperatures may vary.
Store any leftover seeds in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crunch.

    I added a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat. Delicious!

  • Gerhard Hoppe

    These are dangerously addictive! I made a double batch and they were gone in a day.

  • Van Grant

    I found that toasting the seeds for a few minutes in a dry pan before coating them helps them get extra crunchy.

  • Talia Koepp

    Be careful not to overbake them, or they will burn. Keep a close eye on them during the last 15 minutes.

  • Arjun Parkerklocko

    I used a homemade ranch seasoning mix and it worked great.

  • Morton Wisozk

    Make sure to spread the seeds in a single layer, otherwise they won't toast evenly.

  • Alexandrine Keebler

    These are great on salads too!

  • Gene Pfannerstill

    A little goes a long way. I used Frank's RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce and it was perfect!

  • Darwin Runolfsdottir

    The lemon pepper really elevates the flavor. Don't skip it!

  • Clare Gibson

    My kids loved these! A great way to use up leftover pumpkin seeds after carving pumpkins.
