How to make the perfect pumpkin seeds !

Don’t throw out the seeds! Make a tasty and healthy snack in a few simple steps to add flavor and irresistible texture to each bite!

STEP 1: Remove the Seed-Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop to remove the inside pulp, stringy fibers, and entangled raw seeds from the pumpkin.

STEP 2: Wash and Dry Seeds- Add the seeds to a colander, wash and remove any pulp left on the seeds. It’s okay if some flesh remains. Make sure to dry the seeds as much as possible in between a towel.

STEP 3: Season the Seeds – Toss the seeds in a bowl with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika (optional) and black pepper. Make sure to separate and spread the seeds evenly on a lightly greased cookie sheet for even roasting.

STEP 4: Roast the Seeds-The seasoned pumpkin seeds get roasted at a moderate heat of 350°F (177ºC) for about 12 to 15 minutes, tossing the seeds every 5 minutes to encourage even browning. When the seeds give a nutty aroma and golden brown color, they are ready!
