How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. 2. Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin with a sharp knife. 3. Loosen the insides of your pumpkin with a spoon, then remove them and place them in a bowl. 4. Clean the pumpkin from the seeds by placing them in a colander and rinsing them with water. 5. Spread the cleaned seeds on a paper towel. Take more paper towels and pat them dry. 6. Place the dried seeds in a new bowl and coat them with olive oil. (You can use more or less depending on the amount of seeds yielded from the pumpkin.) This will help your seasoning stick to the seeds. 7. Next, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of dried seasoning to the seeds. You can experiment and add what you like to taste. We used a mixture of salt, pepper and paprika to our seeds. 8. Toss generously to coat the seeds evenly with olive oil and seasoning mixture. 9. Spread the coated seeds evenly on an oven safe baking sheet. 10. Bake the seeds in the oven for 15 - 25 minutes depending on desired taste. For a yummy salad topping, we prefer baking our a seeds for a little longer, or about 25 minutes. For snacking, we roast our seeds a little less, or about 15 minutes. 11. Remove seeds from the oven and cool. Enjoy! Get more recipes online at !
