The always forgotten part of the pumpkin is the BEST part. The seeds make a great side dish for Halloween or even Thanksgiving. Who can resist a roasted pumpkin seed?

Ingredients

1 pumpkin shopping list
salt (iodized or sea salt which ever you prefer) shopping list

Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees F shopping list

How to make it

Empty out the guts out of a pumpkin.
Clean the guts from the seeds and place seeds in either a strainer or bowl. If you place them in a bowl just fill bowl up with water to clean the seeds. If using a strainer just run the water over them.
Once the seeds feel clean and the guts have been removed let the seeds dry for about 30 minutes. ****!!!WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT PLACE ON PAPER TOWELS OR CLOTH!!! THEY WILL STICK!!!!****
Once seeds are dry place them on baking sheets spray with cooking spray add salt (salt depends on how much you like but don't worry if you put too much on you can always rub some of it off after the seeds have cooled).
Be sure to check your seeds every 5-7 minutes because all ovens cook differently. Once slightly golden brown, remove, let cool and then store in a dry tight container.

Love roasted pumpkin seeds, giving you 5 forks. Can hardly wait to roast the seeds from my pumpkin I have outside. Making a pie or two from the meat of the pumpkin, no waste with them.

When I take out the guts I just place everything in a bowl. If you are using a pumpkin that isn't really old I just put on gloves and squish the seeds out. You are going to have a little bit of the guts still in. But when I use the strainer when I mix the seeds with my hands the guts sticks to my fingers and the seeds fall off. It takes a bit of time to get the guts off the seeds.

Love the recipe but I have a question? How you you get the guts off the seeds. I never make them because of that. Just curious how you do it.
Thanks,
Valerie
