Ingredients
  1. Raw pumpkin seeds
  2. Olive Oil
  3. Salt
  4. Seasonings as desired
Pumpkin seed cleaning
  1. Remove pumpkin innards and seeds from pumpkin.
  2. Place in large container and add water to cover seeds.
  3. Remove large chunks of fibrous material.
  4. Whisk by hand, or with electric whisk in water with pumpkin seeds, for about 30 seconds to 1 minute to detach fibrous material from pumpkin seeds.
  5. Pumpkin seeds should float to the top where the clean seeds can be scooped up and placed into clean bowl.
Roasting
  1. Drain pumpkin seeds well and add olive oil to seeds. Use you best judgement here on the amount. Depends on how many seeds you are trying to coat. The seeds should not be soaked in oil just lightly coated.
  2. Add seasoning of your choice.
  3. Spread onto a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper (for easier cleanup)
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until lightly browned. If you hear the seeds beginning to pop (like popcorn) it is time to remove them from the oven.
  5. Cool. Store in airtight container.
Notes
  1. Cajun seasoning and garlic salt make wonderful seasonings for your pumpkin seeds, or leave the salt off altogether. Delicious.

    Which pumpkins are soft shell? I wasn’t aware there were different types of seeds.

      Soft shell seeds are known as “hull-less” or “naked” seeds. Here is a great article explaining the different types. http://www.prep-blog.com/2012/06/08/survival-gardening-pumpkin/ I grew my own Snack Jack pumpkins. These were a perfect compromise for preserving the squash and roasting the edible seeds. Hope this helps.

    Actually I tried roasting my own seeds one year and they were good but so dry and crackly! I had no idea you had to add oil and I probably baked them for like 2 hours at 200 degrees. Looking forward to making some REAL ones this year 🙂

      I still have a few left from last years batch. I grew pumpkins with the type of seeds that were soft shelled so you can eat the whole thing. They are delicious. Whenever I make granola I add them to the mix after it’s done with the dried fruit. So delicious. It’s almost time to make some more.
