Ingredients
  • scant 1 pound fresh pumpkin seeds, stringy flesh removed
  • 1 to 1½ teaspoons coarse salt
  • ¼ cup olive oil (You can also use a mix of melted butter but the baking time may change. You may also need to adjust the salt if using salted butter)
Instructions
  1. Preheat over to 400 degrees F.
  2. Harvest your pumpkin seeds from the slimy guts, removing as much of the slime and stringiness from the seeds as possible.
  3. Toss seeds in bowl with olive oil (and melted butter, if using) and salt, mixing well.
  4. In one layer, spread seeds out on baking pans.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes, stirring at least once during baking. The roasted seeds will be browned when done, and crackle when you bring them out of the oven.
  6. Depending on your pan size and material of the pan, you may need to adjust baking time.
  7. Instead of salt, also add cumin or chili for a flavor kick.
  8. Roasted seeds last for weeks in an airtight container.
