Halloween Leftovers - Roasted Pumpkin Seeds!

Name: Halloween Leftovers - Roasted Pumpkin Seeds!
Total time: 1800 s
Yield: 5 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 cup Pumpkin Seeds; 1 tsp salt; 1 dash olive oil

Ingredients

30 mins

5 servings

2 cupPumpkin Seeds
1 tspsalt
1 dasholive oil

Cooking Instructions

30 mins

1

Preheat oven to 170℃
2

Place pumpkin seeds in a pan of salted water and boil the pumpkin seeds for 10 minutes. This helps the salty flavour penetrate the seed, rather than just being salty on the outside :)
3

Drizzle olive oil onto an oven tray large enough to accomodate your seeds
4

Drain the pumpkin seeds well, drying them on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture
5

Pour the seeds onto the oven tray, shaking them around to distribute the olive oil onto the seeds
6

Roast the seeds for 10 minutes (maybe less, dependent on size), then turn them over and roast for a further 10 minutes
7

Remove from oven and serve hot or cold. They taste a bit like salted pistachios, with a similarly satisfying crunch :) nice as a side dish or just to snack on.

My daughter loves these. We always make them in the fall after carving a Halloween pumpkin! You can omit the butter if looking for a plainer or healthier option.

Have enjoyed this recipe since I was a kid. Can't remember a Halloween that my mom didn't make them! This is one of my recipes that I've never really measured the quantities for because my mom never measured so could never tell me herself. What's listed is based on eyeball guesstimate while adding. Lol. If you want them bolder or lighter in flavor adjust seasoning accordingly, but I would leave the butter at the same ratio.

It's pumpkin seeds made the way God/nature/the FSM intended it. Roasted to perfection, the natural flavors of the seeds are enhanced by the salt and pepper.

Well, this year was my very first time carving a Halloween pumpkin. Being that I don't like for things to go to waste, I decided to try my hands at roasting some pumpkin seeds, but with a slight twist.

When fall has arrived, so is the pumpkin season. And with it, there will be lots of pumpkin seeds. A great way to make use of all the pumpkin seeds is to toast them for a delicious and healthy snack.
