I want to roast pumpkin seeds but I don't know how... advice please?

Question

I just carved my halloween pumpkin and I want to roast the seeds in my oven. I already cleaned all the stringies off and rinsed them off really well. What temperature do I put the oven at and can I season them before I put them in the oven? How long do I roast them for? Do I have to put it really close to the heat source, like the very top rack? Please help! Thanks!

Answer 3

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 4

Try this

Preheat oven to 325 F.
Spread the pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet.
Drizzle with oil.
Sprinkle with salt.
Bake ~45 minutes, middle rack stirring occasionally.

Answer 5

Wait! first you want to spread them out on a dry paper towel. Let them dry for several days. Even a week or so is good. Then you can either roast them(350) or fry in a small amount of oil on med or lower heat. Turn regularly until crisp. Use seasoned salt or Mrs. Dash(salt sub) after cooking. season to taste. ENJOY...

Answer 6

It's been years, but I remember soaking them in salty water for a couple of hours, then lightly salting them on a dry baking sheet...

I baked them at 325 until they were lightly browned (and it's quick from lightly browned to blackened).

The recipe is slightly different from Better Homes and Garden. Hit the recipe tab on top and type in "pumpkin seeds" on the left side recipe search box

soak them ovenite in a salt brine and them lay them on a cookie sheet in a single layer and roast them in the oven at about 300 but watch them closely when they start to look dried out pull them out of the oven.enjoy. very healthy except for the salt. try sea salt.

Answer 9

Butter them up good and some salt as well. Put on a cookie sheet and set oven to broil. 350 or so. don"t put too close and watch to see when they brown just a bit. That's it.

Answer 10

I would put it at 350 and leave them in for about 20 mins or 30 mins put whatever spices you want on the before you roast them.
