Roasted Pumpkin Seeds


What You'll Need
Pumpkin Seeds from 2, Medium Pumpkins (about 2 cups)
Olive Oil
Coarse Salt

How to Make
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Rinse seeds thoroughly, to remove all the pumpkin bits.
  • Spread pumpkin seeds, evenly over baking sheet.
  • Drizzle a generous (but don't go crazy) amount of olive oil over seeds.
  • Sprinkle salt (about 1/2 Tbs) over seeds; stir and spread to ensure coverage; repeat.
  • Bake for about 10 mins. ; stir to flip seeds; bake for an additional 15-20 mins (until they begin to turn golden.)
  • Let cool & enjoy!
Happy fall!

  1. I found a tip online that I used - its better to simmer them slightly in water first - it removes all of the extra floaty bits, and makes them more crisp in the oven, and easier to get to the meat.

  2. I actually don't do it that way on purpose. I eat the shell, because they're delicious. They get super crisp, baked this way. :)

    I made your chili for the second time yesterday for Halloween. My husband claims it is the best recipe of our 17 years together-thanks Vickie!

  4. I need to find out if I can bake my Cinderella pumpkin seeds. I purposefully bought a few different varieties of pumpkins this year so I can try and re-seed them in my garden next year but I wonder if I can eat the seeds on all my Franken-gourds or if I can only eat certain varieties. Time for me to do some research!
