Harvesting and Cleaning:

Commence by separating the watermelon seeds from the fruit. After enjoying the juicy watermelon, separate the seeds from the flesh. Rinse the seeds thoroughly under cold water to remove any residual pulp. Alternatively, opt for the convenience of purchasing Raw Watermelon Seeds from Ariga Foods – a 100% natural, fresh, and clean option meticulously packaged in sealed PET jars. This ensures protection from external elements and moisture, preserving their crispiness for your enjoyment.

Soaking for Enhanced Flavor:

For an added layer of flavor, soak the cleaned watermelon seeds in a bowl of salted water. This step not only enhances the taste but also helps in the removal of any remaining impurities. Allow the seeds to soak for a few hours or overnight, depending on your preference. Ariga Foods Watermelon seeds are pure and clean.

Drying the Seeds:

Once soaked, drain the watermelon seeds and spread them out on a clean kitchen towel. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture. Drying the seeds ensures a crispier result during the roasting process.

Seasoning Creatively:

This is where you can get creative! In a bowl, toss the dried watermelon seeds with your preferred seasonings. Popular choices include olive oil, sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, or even a dash of chili for some heat. Experiment with different combinations to find your perfect flavor profile.

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to around 325°F (163°C). While the oven is warming up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step prevents the seeds from sticking and makes for easier cleanup.

Spread Evenly and Roast:

Spread the seasoned watermelon seeds evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are in a single layer, allowing for even roasting. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the seeds turn golden brown.

Stirring for Uniformity:

About halfway through the roasting process, take a moment to stir the seeds gently. This promotes uniform roasting and prevents them from sticking together.

Cooling and Enjoying:

Once the watermelon seeds achieve a golden-brown hue, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. The seeds will continue to crisp up as they cool. Once cooled, transfer them to an airtight container for storage or indulge in your roasted watermelon seed snack immediately.

Conclusion:

Roasting watermelon seeds is a simple and rewarding process that transforms these seeds into a crunchy, flavorful snack. With a few easy steps, you can create a delicious and nutritious treat that is perfect for on-the-go snacking or as a topping for salads and yogurt.
