We love Halloween around here! It’s a fun time of the month and it’s a day we all look forward to. We spent some time on the weekend carving our pumpkin. Q was reluctant to get his hands dirty but once we started pulling out the pumpkin guts, he had fun. The best part of pumpkin carving is of course the seeds! Roasted and salted, they are perfect for munching on.
There are so many variations on how people roast the seeds. This is how we do them at our house.
Once you pull out the seeds from the pumpkin, rinse them so that you get all the pumpkin off. I usually do this in a colander.
Once washed, place the seeds between paper towels, getting them as dry as you can.
Put the seeds on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 to 30 minutes. Take them seeds out when they get a little toasty and brown. Salt and enjoy!
Thanks for the easy, step by step guide to roasted pumpkin seeds. Hope you don't mind I linked to your site on my post about making homemade pumpkin puree. http://www.gettystewart.com/how-to-make-and-freeze-homemade-pumpkin-puree/
