Roasted pumpkin seeds are a healthy snack that’s easy to make. Save the seeds from a fresh pumpkin and learn how to roast pumpkin seeds this weekend.
Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin seeds
- 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Using a spoon, scrape the pulp and seeds out of your pumpkin into a bowl.
- Separate the seeds from the stringy pulp by rinsing the seeds in a colander under cold water. Then shake dry. Don't blot with paper towels; the seeds will stick.
- Spread the seeds in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes to dry them out.
- Toss the seeds with olive oil, salt and your choice of spices.
- Return to the oven and bake until crisp and golden, about 20 more minutes.
