Pumpkin Seeds

Are you carving pumpkins for Halloween? Don't forget to toast the seeds for a yummy snack!


Rinse the seeds and remove all the pulp. Soak seeds overnight in a solution of 2 cups water and 1/4 cup salt.  The next day, spread the seeds on a cookie sheet to dry.  This should take 8-12 hours. 

Preheat oven to 250 F.  

Toss pumpkin seeds in olive oil.
Sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. You can also try garlic powder, cayenne, cinnamon...be creative. 
Spread the seeds on a foil lined baking sheet. 

Bake seeds for about 1 hour, until they are golden brown.  Stir them every 15-20 minutes. 

Let the seeds cool before eating.
