I’ve made roasted pumpkin seeds each single yr since my mother let me assist as a child. Yearly, somebody asks me to publish the recipe, however I’ve at all times been like, “nah—it’s not likely a recipe!” It’s SO easy.

Methods to simply take away pumpkin seeds from pulp?
First, take away the entire seeds from the within of a pumpkin. Place them into a big bowl of water, eradicating as a lot large items of pulp as potential.
The heavier bits of pulp will sink to the underside whereas the seeds themselves will float. You’ll nonetheless want to make use of your (clear) palms to take away a number of the bits of pulp from the seeds. Gently rub the seeds between your fingers and far (practically all) the pulp will launch and go into the water.
Then give the seeds an excellent rinse. If any small bits of pulp stay, I simply go away these—they don’t harm something!
Each pumpkin will yield a special quantity of pumpkin seeds, otherwise you is likely to be working with seeds from many pumpkins. So, I consider this recipe as extra of a ratio:
1/3 cup seeds + 1 teaspoon oil + 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt = scrumptious
You’ll be able to regulate the oil and salt based mostly on what number of seeds you might be roasting.

Methods to make Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes. To maintain them from burning, I wish to stir them midway by with a spatula. Watch them fastidiously as a result of they burn simply.
You’ll know they’re accomplished when most seeds are golden in coloration. I like mine just a little overcooked, however that’s coming from somebody who likes burnt popcorn. Ha!
Are you able to eat the shells of pumpkin seeds?
Sure, you completely can! I like to combine my roasted pumpkin seeds with about 1/3 or 1/4 as many sweet corn candies. So, if I had a cup of roasted pumpkin seeds I’d add round 1/3 cup of sweet corn. I like the candy and salty combine!
