A nutritious and delicious snack made from pumpkin seeds, suitable for both savory and sweet varieties. Easy for the whole family to enjoy, these roasted seeds are perfect for kids and adults alike.
1: Use a hand mixer to get the guts and seeds from the pumpkin.
2: To separate the seeds from the guts, fill a bowl with water; the seeds will float to the top while the guts sink.
3: Boil the seeds for 10 minutes with about 1 tablespoon of salt.
4: Towel dry the seeds if in a hurry or let sit for at least one hour or overnight; alternatively, dry them in a 170° oven on a cookie sheet for 2 hours.
5: After drying, toss with oil or butter on the baking sheet and then toss with the spice mixture of your choice.
6: Roast at 350-400° for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy, ready when they give off a nutty aroma.
