Roast Homemade Pumpkin Seeds From Fresh Pumpkins
It’s the season. You got your pumpkin, and you have decided you don’t want it to be used for cute seasonal decoration.
One popular way to consume pumpkin is to roast the seeds. Be sure to save the rest of the pumpkin for another delicious recipe.
Here is a basic recipe to get you started.
Easy Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Seeds from pumpkin
1 tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter
Salt to taste
Seasonings of your choice (garlic powder, paprika or even cinnamon)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Scoop the seeds from your pumpkin by cutting off the top and reaching in to grab them. Separate the seeds from the pulp. Rinse seeds in colander under cold water and remove any remaining pumpkin pulp.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seeds are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Sprinkle on a salad or enjoy as a snack.
