Jacqueline's Oven or Pan-roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Makes a wonderful, healthy snack.Separate the pumpkin seeds from the stringy membrane of a freshly carved pumpkin.
Rinse the pumpkin seeds in a colander, until they are free of any membrane matter.
pumpkin seeds, cleaned, washed
Vegetable oil, olive oil or cooking spray
salt, plain, iodized or sea salt
Pan-roast by placing the pumpkin seeds in a hot cast-iron skillet until they puff up (stir constantly so they don't get too dark or burn). A minute or so after that, they start shaking and spinning, like popcorn popping. This is the sign they're almost done. Take the skillet off the stove and place on a cool area. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Allow the pumpkin seeds to cool before eating, then chow down. Very yummy and tasty snack.
Optional: Oven roasting method
After cleaning and rinsing the pumpkin seeds, spread them on a baking sheet. Put the seeds on the baking sheet in a single layer, turning to coat lightly with the spray or the oil. Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds lightly with salt, if desired. They don't have to be totally dried for this recipe. Roast the pumpkin seeds in the oven at 350°F. by placing the baking sheet in the oven. Roast the pumpkin seeds for 15 to 20 minutes, turning once. Allow the pumpkin seeds to cool before eating. Sprinkle them with your favorite seasoning. Pumpkin seeds can be eaten with the outer shell on or off.
Taste Hint:
Try additional seasonings on your pumpkin seeds: cajun seasoning, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and garlic salt are some of the many possibilities.
Store baked pumpkin seeds in an airtight container. You can use these Halloween recipes to prepare your pumpkin seeds in advance for the scary night treats.
For a saltier treat:
Boil the pumpkin seeds in heavily salted water for ten minutes, then bake them.
