Ingredients:

  • Pumpkin or squash seeds
  • Salt

Instructions:

  1. Clean the Seeds: Begin by cleaning the pumpkin or squash seeds, ensuring they are free from any pulp or debris. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water.

  2. Soak Overnight: In a large bowl, soak the cleaned seeds in very salty, warm water. Allow them to soak overnight, ensuring they are fully immersed in the saltwater solution. Remember, the more salt, the tastier the seeds!

  3. Drain and Spread: The next day, drain the soaked seeds and spread them out evenly on a cookie sheet or shallow baking dish. Make sure they are in a single layer to ensure even roasting.

  4. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C), ensuring it is adequately heated before placing the seeds inside.

  5. Roast the Seeds: Once the oven is preheated, place the cookie sheet or baking dish with the seeds inside. Roast them in the preheated oven for 3 to 6 hours, depending on your oven’s temperature accuracy and the size of the seeds. Stir the seeds occasionally to ensure they roast evenly.

  6. Check for Doneness: After a few hours, check the seeds for doneness. They should be golden brown and crispy when ready. If they need more time, continue roasting, checking them regularly to prevent burning.

  7. Cool and Serve: Once roasted to perfection, remove the seeds from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Serve them as a delightful snack or use them as a crunchy topping for salads, soups, or your favorite dishes.

  8. Store for Later: Store any leftover roasted pumpkin seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several weeks. Enjoy them whenever you need a wholesome and delicious snack!

Enjoy the Delightful Crunch!
