Quick & Easy Pumpkin Seeds Recipe

Here's a simple recipe to dry and roast your pumpkin seeds, turning them into a delicious, nutritious snack:

Ingredients:

• Pumpkin Seeds from one medium pumpkin

• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

• Salt (to taste)

• Your choice of seasoning (suggestions below)

Procedure:

1. Scoop the seeds out of your pumpkin and separate them from the pulp. Rinse the seeds under cold water to remove any remaining pulp.

2. Spread the seeds out on a towel and let them dry overnight. This step is really important, as the drier your seeds, the crispier they will turn out after roasting.

3. Preheat your oven to 300°F (or around 150°C).

4. Toss the dried pumpkin seeds in a bowl with olive oil and salt. Make sure all the seeds are coated.

5. Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Stir the seeds every 10 minutes for even roasting.

7. Let them cool before snack-time!

Seasoning Suggestions:

Feel free to get creative with your seasonings. Here are a few ideas:

• Sweet: Toss the seeds in cinnamon and a bit of sugar or honey for a sweet treat.

• Spicy: If you're a fan of heat, add a dash of cayenne pepper or chili powder.

• Savory: Sprinkle some garlic powder or onion powder for a savory snack.

• Italian twist: Add some dried oregano, parsley, and a little parmesan.

Remember, the key to a good, crunchy roast is to ensure the seeds are well-dried before roasting. So, when it’s time to carve those pumpkins, don't toss the seeds. Roast them instead for a healthy, delicious snack. Enjoy your pumpkin carving and happy snacking!
