Notes
Embrace the wholesomeness of these pumpkin seeds without a hint of gluten! To ensure your Air Fryer Pumpkin Seeds are entirely gluten-free, double-check your seasoned salt or any seasoning blends you decide to use. Some commercial blends can contain additives or anti-caking agents derived from gluten sources. Opt for a certified gluten-free seasoned salt, or better yet, craft your own mix using pure sea salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
