Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

It’s that time of the year when we carve pumpkins or make pumpkin puree and one of the by products of this is pumpkin seeds! Pumpkin seeds make a delicious and nutritious snack and are easy to roast. Follow along and I will show you how to do this.

This recipe is for the amount of seeds from one pie pumpkin (1/2 cup) but you can easily increase this recipe for larger amounts of seeds. If you are more daring you can substitute the salt for any flavoring you want to try.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

1/2 tsp olive oil

pinch of kosher salt

Directions:

1. Rinse seeds and remove all pumpkin from the seeds.
2. Let the seeds thoroughly dry out. I dried mine overnight on a kitchen towel.
3. Put dried out seeds into a bowl.
4. Add olive oil to seeds and mix.
5. Add salt or other flavored seasoning to seeds and mix.
6. Place seeds on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Cook in a preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Enjoy!
