Ingredients

    1 quart water
    2 cups raw pumpkin seeds
    2 tbsp salt
    1 tbsp vegetable oil or butter melted

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Pick through seeds and remove and cut seeds. Remove as much of the stringy fibers as possible. Bring the water and salt to a boil. Add the seeds and boil for 10 minutes. Drain, spread on kitchen towel or paper towel and pat dry. Place the seeds in a bowl and toss with oil or melted butter. Spread evenly on a large cookie sheet or roasting pan. Place pan in a preheated oven and roast the seeds for 30 to 40 minutes. Stir about every 10 minutes, until crisp and golden brown. Cool the seeds, then shell and eat or pack into an air tight container or zip closure bags and refrigerate until ready to eat.

    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

    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
