Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Tis the season to roast pumpkin seeds!

I love freshly out of the oven roasted pumpkin seeds lightly salted, crunchy little snack that is high in fiber so its good to eat them by the handfuls haha.

Step 1:
Gut your pumpkin, go ahead get messy. Place the seeds separated from the “guts” in a large bowl.

Step 2:
Soak / wash the seeds (no soap please) and try to get the cling on guts off

Step 3:
Rinse the seeds and let them dry out. Most sites say at least 30mins but I let them dry for longer.

Step 4:
Place them in a bowl with some melted butter (or oil) to lightly coat, sprinkle with salt or whatever seasonings you’d like

Step 5:
Place in oven as it preheats to 275F.

Step 6:
Check your pumpkin seeds every 5-ish minutes. I cook large batches (seeds from 3 pumpkins so I check every 15mins). Stir occasionally and do a taste test to see if they are cooked enough for you liking.

Step 7:
Once roasted, they will change colour, remove them from the oven and sample some. Eat warm or cold, either way its all good :0)
