How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds

Step 1

For every 1 cup of seeds add: 2 cups of water + 1/2 Tablespoon salt. Soak overnight.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400° for a light baking sheet (which is ideal). Or 375° for a dark baking sheet.

Step 3

Rinse thoroughly and pat completely dry. Add to the baking sheet.

Step 4

Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Use your hands to toss and coat evenly.

Step 5

Spread out in a single, even layer. Bake for 15 minutes and check them every 2 minutes after that. Pull them when they just start to turn a little brown.

Step 6

Use a spatula and toss them around and spread them back out. Sprinkle with a little more salt if desired.

Step 7

Bake for 5 more minutes and check on them every minute after that. Pull them when they turn a little bit more brown.

Step 8

Serve them warm!

Step 9

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for up to 2 months.
