Hi John :). Great question, we've done it both ways, but feel the quick boil makes the seeds a touch more tender inside. It also adds moisture to the seed which helps the outer shell crisp up more in the air fryer. So we are going for that super crisp outside with a slightly but tender but will crisp inside :). You can totally avoid the boil step if you want, we just like how it adds a bit of dimension to the pumpkin seed and outer shell :). I hope that helps! Have a great weekend!

Just curious what the rationale is for boiling the seeds before air frying them. I've been roasting pumpkin seeds for decades without boiling them first. Thanks in advance.

Such a great idea to do these in the air fryer! I don’t boil my seeds and I mix them with just a little olive oil and some soy sauce. I have an Air Ninja and they roasted very quickly...I shook after 5 minutes and only put them back in for another 2-3. Yum!

Thanks Tracy! I am guessing that spaghetti squash seeds may be thinner and will take less time. I bet that is why they were over done. I have only tested this recipe on pumpkin seeds. Thank you for letting me know about the other type of seeds! Glad you liked them! Butter and garlic sound delicious!

I like the butter and garlic, but mine was overdone in 10 min at 360 degrees. I have a Cuisinart. Maybe it's faster? IDK, but I like 'em and I used spaghetti squash seeds.
