Answer 1

ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS

This is a fun family project or rainy day activity.
Preheat oven to 250°F.

After removing as much pulp as possible from the pumpkin seeds, place the seeds in a colander in the sink and run cold water over them as you work to remove any remaining pulp. When the seeds are clean, drain them and place between two paper towels to dry.

In a large skillet, sauté 2 cups pumpkin seeds, 2 tablespoons butter or 1 1/2 tablespoons peanut or safflower oil and 1 teaspoon salt. (For an interesting flavor variation, try Morton's Hot Salt or use Seasoned Salt.)

Stir 3 minutes until seeds are well coated with butter.

Spread evenly on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes.

Take a few out to try at this point (watch out-they will be hot so let them cool a bit first!)

Some seeds are larger than others and will take longer to bake.

If necessary, continue to bake 15 minutes longer or until lightly browned.

Place on a paper towel to cool.

Variation: After washing the pumpkin seeds, soak seeds for 1-2 hours in a mixture of 1 quart of water and 1/2 cup kosher salt. Be sure salt has dissolved. Remove seeds from water mixture after soaking and dry. Proceed as above.

Answer 2

Separate the seeds from pumpkin flesh and strings. Wash them well and spread them on paper towels to dry. Next spread seeds evenly over a cookie sheet. Heat them in a 375-degree oven for 20-30 minutes. raise the oven temperature to 400. Brown the seeds for five to 10 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot or cold.

Answer 3

You can dry then on low heat (200). 20 minutes should do it.

To roast them use a warmer oven (350 to 400). 45 minutes to one hour, depending on how dark you like them.

Roasted without anything on them is fine, but cooking first in oil with a little Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce is better. Add salt to taste.

Answer 4

If you want them "roasted" use the oven. Put them on a lightly greased cookie sheet and roast them in a 400 degree oven. If you just want them dried, use an electric dehydrator! It's much easier than using the oven!!

Answer 5

yes i do !!How to Make Homemade Roasted Pumpkin Seeds! These days, roasted pumpkins seeds are all the rage. Tasty, full of anti-oxidants, high in fiber and protein, gourmet shops and health food stores stock them. Here's an EASY recipe to make them yourself! Directions for Making Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Ingredients and Equipment

* pumpkin (see step 1)
* a sharp, serrated large knife
* Cookie sheet
* vegetable oil
* salt pepper, general herbs
Recipe and Directions
Step 1 - Clean the seeds When you are carving your pumpkin, separate the seeds from the pumpkin flesh and strings. Wash them well (usually putting then in a big bowl of water and rubbing them between your hands is a fast way to clean them) and spread them on paper towels to dry.

It is also time to start preheating the oven. Turn it on and set it to 375 F (190 C, for those in Europe) Step 2 - Spread the seeds on a cookie sheet and season them Spread the seeds evenly over a cookie sheet and lightly baste the seeds with melted butter, margarine, or vegetable oil. My family likes a bit of 'Mrs. Dash" or lemon pepper on them. Most people seem to like a bit of cayenne pepper, some thyme and salt and pepper - about 1 teaspoon of each.
Or for a Halloweeny flavor, try a light sprinkling of cinnamon and allspice. Step 3 - Roast the seeds Heat them in a 375-degree oven for 20-30 minutes. raise the oven temperature to 400. Brown the seeds for five to 10 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot or cold.

For milder flavor, simmer the cleaned seeds for about an hour in salted water and fry in deep oil. Or mix a tablespoon of oil or margarine to each cup of nuts and roast them at 250 degrees for 30-40 minutes until they're golden. Sprinkle them with salt.
