     This recipe is FABULOUS! I did cook them over an hour at 250 degrees to get them nice and crisp, but boiling them in the salt water made them taste great! I added some sea salt after I placed them on the cookie sheet.....just to add a little more flavor, and baked them about 1hr & 15min. TASTY! - 10/29/08

     Don't use papertowels to dry the seeds unless your towels are super strong :) This was a great recipie clearly written. Thanks! - 8/13/08

     Delicious! A healthy snack that my kids and I both love. Thanks for a great recipe! - 10/21/09

     This was a great basic recipe. I changed it up by eliminating the oil or butter and just using nonstick tin foil. Baked at 425 for about 20 min. YUMMY! - 11/27/19

     I had to cook them longer, about an hour and a half...but they seemed to turn out nicely. I think next time I will put some sort of seasoning on them before they bake. I need a bit more flavour. - 11/1/15

     I also used extra spices....cumin, Mexican Chili, paprika and garlic. I roasted on my new ceramic bar pan from Pampered Chef. It's my first thing to cook! It smells great! My numbers came out a little different but not too far off. My time took close to 1 1/2 hrs, too. Thanks for the recipe! - 11/5/12

     Simple, easy and satisfies the Crunch factor. Be sure to portion these out in snack bags, or you will eat ALL of them at once! - 10/24/11

     Delicious, I used pam butter spray instead, don't know if that's any better calorie wise . I also use a real towel to dry them off. - 11/1/09
