I want to roast pumpkin seeds, I need to know how??

Question

I am on weight watchers, so I don't want to use oil to bump up the calories, so maybe a healthier way and could you tell me how many calories they have?? Thanks

Answer 1

the seeds have 40cal./100gr.

Answer 2

I dont know what all you can or cannot eat on weight watchers so I will suggest using butter, canola oil, or extra virgin olive oil to cook them with. Canola oil is the best for you body out of all the oils that exsist.

You can take about a tsp of canola oil and put it in a skillet and add the seeds, cook about 15 minutes until they start to get a little soft, add salt if you wish. Then place in a shallow backing dish and cook at 250 for about 20 minutes, or until golden. When they are done you can add more salt if you wish.

When my family roasts Pumpkin seeds, all we do is wash all the pumpkin goo off the seeds, sprinkle lightly with salt and bake. Place the seeds on a cookie sheet and place them in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. When they are no longer moist they are done and they are delicious!! I am not sure the caloric amount put you can easily figure your points for the salt!! Good Luck!!

Black Tea & Butter Pumpkin SeedsYou can use many different types of tea here. I opted for a smoky black one, but you can go for one infused with other flavors, or even tisanes (I have a dried lime tea that I be would be interesting in this recipe). Choose a tea that is fragrant and has a pronounced flavor for best results.
1 teaspoon (black) tea
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
scant 1/2 teaspoon fine grained sea salt
1 cup fresh pumpkin seeds
Preheat oven to 375.
Using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, grind the tea into a fine powder. Set aside.
