How to roast pumpkin seeds

Our well established (after 4 pumpkins) recipe and method for toasted pumpkin seeds:

Have a really adorable little girl reach in to a pumpkin and pull out as much of the guts as she can.


Smile big for mommy to take a picture (and use a special scoop to get every last string and seed out of the pumpkin).


Wash the seeds in a strainer at the sink to remove all the bits of orange pumpkin from them.

(It helps to get really excited about the seeds).

spread the seeds out on paper towel

pat the seeds almost dry between paper towels

put the (almost) dry seeds in a clean bowl

add salt to the bowl of seeds

stir the salt and the seeds up so the seeds are somewhat coated with salt

dump then on a foil lined cookie sheet

spread them out

Roast in the oven at 300 degrees for 45-50 minutes.

The roasted seeds are delicious and "oh so yummy" as Ally says.
