Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Wow, these are easy and absolutely wonderful!!  

Spearate seeds from pumpkin goo.
I tried a couple of methods. Put everything on a baking sheet and pressed down and the seeds would surface to the top, then I gently scrape top to separate. 

 Don't worry if there are a few pieces of membrane left, once you boil for 10 mins everything will loosen. 
After boiling for 10 mins, I drained into colander. And rinsed. Use a colander that has hole big enough for loose membrane to pass, but not seeds. 

 

 After rinsing, I place on a towel to dry a little, at this point the seeds look grey and wet, which is perfect. 
 
Place seeds into bowl, add enough olive oil to coat, then salt and pepper to taste. You can flavor with other spices if you like!! 
Once all seasoning is stired in, place on a foil lined and cooking sprayed pan, single layer. 
Place in a 400* degree oven. I did mine in 5-7 minute intervals, turning and moving around. 
Eventually ALL seeds will be white and a little golden brown!! 
ENJOY!!
