Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

Purists will want only salt as a seasoning, but, if you're feeling adventurous, experiment and have fun with seasoning blends.

Serves: 1 1/2 cups

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds
2 teaspoons melted butter or oil
salt to taste
Options: garlic powder, cayenne pepper, seasoning salt, Cajun seasoning blend

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 300F. While it's fine to leave some strings and pulp on your seeds (it adds flavor), clean off any major chunks.
  2. Toss pumpkin seeds in a bowl with the melted butter or oil and seasonings of your choice.
  3. Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes, until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
