Recipe Introduction


Preparation Time: 10 minutes to wash and scoop out of
pumpkin
Cooking Time: 1 hour to dry in oven + 5 minutes to brown



List of Ingredients




1 Pumpkin seeds from (reserve pumpkin for jack-o-lantern or
other
recipes)
2 Tbsp. Oil
1 tsp. Salt


Recipe



Open the pumpkin by cutting around the stem end and lifting
out the
stem end. Scoop out all seeds and wash them in a colander
under
running water to remove the stringy pulp.

Spread seeds on paper towels to dry. Scatter the seeds on
an oiled
cookie sheet and bake at 250 degrees (120C) oven to dry.
Takes about
1 hour. I like to do a few cookie sheets at once so it
takes a bit
longer.

During the hour shake the cookie sheets a bit to turn the
seeds.

When the seeds are dry turn up the oven heat to toast the
seeds for
about 5 minutes until desired color is reached.

Remove and store in airtight jars or tins.

Optional - If you like salt the seeds in the last 10 minutes
of
cooking with your favorite salt, season salt, chili powder,
dash of
hot pepper sauce, lemon pepper, lime salt, dried herbs, etc.
