How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds

1. Rinse pumpkin seeds under cold water and pick out the pulp and strings. (This is easiest just after you've removed the seeds from the pumpkin, before the pulp has dried.)
2. Place the pumpkin seeds in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet, stirring to coat. If you prefer, omit the oil and coat with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Sprinkle with salt and bake at 325 degrees F until toasted, about 25 minutes, checking and stirring after 10 minutes.
4. Let cool and store in an air-tight container.

Tips & Warnings

* Pumpkin seeds can be eaten with the outer shell on or off.
* For a saltier treat, boil the pumpkin seeds in heavily salted water for ten minutes, then bake them.
* Also try additional seasonings on your seeds: cajun seasoning, worcestershire sauce, and garlic salt are some possibilities.

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. There are many variations. Here are the most popular, in order or popularity:

Savory: 4 tablespoons melted butter, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt and 2 teaspoons Worchestershire sauce
Lemony: 4 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon 'Mrs. Dash" or lemon pepper
Halloweeny: 4 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice.
Spicy: 4 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Step 3 - Roast the seeds
Heat them in a 325-degree oven for 30-40 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.

Answer 5

My kids couldn't wait to do punkins so they could have the seeds. They're all grown now but still do this for their kids. But, we didn't salt them and we didn't rinse, rinse, rinse until all the pumpkin residue was off of them. We sprinkled them with pumpkin pie spice and sugar and baked them until really brown. We found that we could eat the whole seed if really brown. Of course from above recipes (which are good too) you can see that you have to use a spray or a little oil. Try just one batch of these and you'll love them too. They taste like crunchy pumpkin pie! Happy Halloween!

Should have told you that we do rinse them but try to leave a little of the pumpkin on the seeds. No big globs but just enough for pumpkin taste.

Answer 6

I wash them first to get all the pumpkin out of them.

Then I dry them off the best I can - either let them set or just use a towel. They don't have to be perfectly dry.

I set the oven for about 350 degrees. I then place the seeds on a baking sheet and spread them out. I make sure to salt them as well. I place them in the oven for about five minutes and then I take them out and eat one. If they aren't crunchy and need more time I try to turn most of them over and then put them back in for 2-5 more minutes.

Delicious and healthy!
