Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Course Snack
Cuisine American
Servings 1 Cup Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Ingredients

  • 1 Medium Pumpkin = 1 Cup Raw Pumpkin Seeds
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter melted
  • 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Seasoning Salt
  • 1/8 Teaspoon Garlic Salt

You will need :

  • Baking Tray
  • Parchment Paper

Instructions

  • Cut the top off of a medium sized pumpkin.
  • Stick you hands inside the pumpkin to remove the seeds leaving behind the pulp.
  • Rinse the seeds in a bowl filled with water. Rub the seeds between your hands to remove any flesh.
  • Drain in a colander and give the seeds a few toss.
  • Pour the seeds onto a baking tray lined with paper towels. Take another sheet of paper towel to pat dry the seeds. After 2 hours change the paper towel on the baking tray as it will be wet.
  • Then leave the baking tray on the counter overnight for the seeds to dry.
  • The next day the seeds will be ready to be roasted.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Pour the pumpkin seeds into a bowl.
  • There will be a few seeds that may slightly be stuck to the paper towel. All you have to do is rub the paper towel together and they will fall right off.
  • Then melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. Be sure to place a plastic lid or paper plate over the bowl to prevent the melted butter from splattering all inside your microwave.
  • Pour the melted butter into the bowl of seeds and stir to coat.
  • Then pour in 1 teaspoon of olive oil and stir.
  • Add in 1 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1/8 teaspoon garlic salt. Toss to combine.
  • Line a baking tray with some parchment paper . Pour the seeds onto the baking tray.
  • Place the tray in the oven on the top level.
  • Bake for 15 minutes then turn the seeds over.
  • Bake for another 15 minutes and you're done! Total cooking time is 30 minutes.
  • Take them out of the oven and let them cool on the tray for 10 minutes. They will be slightly crispier after they cooled.
  • It is best to consume them the same day because once they are stored in an air tight container they won't be as crispy afterwards.
