Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • Seeds from your pumpkins.
  • Water
  • Salt
  • Oil
  • Spices such as garlic powder, onion powder or chili powder.

Instructions
 

  • Remove the seeds from the pumpkin(s) and place in a colander.
  • Rinse under running water, removing as much of the pulp and strings as you can. The seeds will still feel slippery, but that's okay.
  • Pour the seeds into a measuring cup to check how much you have and then put them into a sauce pan.
  • For every ½ cup of pumpkin seeds, add 2 cups of water and a tablespoon of salt.
  • Bring the salt water to a boil, and then simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain the water from the seeds in the colander. Pat the seeds mostly dry with some paper towels.
  • You can sprinkle the seeds with additional seasoning if you’d like - don't use herbs as these will scorch in the oven and make your seeds taste burnt.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Wipe the bottom of a jelly roll pan with cooking oil and spread the seeds out.
  • Toast in the oven for 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the seeds and how brown you like them.
  • Remove them from the oven and let them cool - then enjoy!
