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