Roasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe- Family Favorite Recipe

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds are my absolute favorite thing about Autumn. Yes, I love all the scents, colors and flavors that accompany the autumn season. But the roasted pumpkin seeds are still my favorite.

I dream of these roasted pumpkin seeds all year long. So I love when the pumpkins start showing up in the stores or they turn a nice orange color in the garden.

I grow pumpkins solely so I can make these roasted pumpkin seeds!

The ever coveted Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

In our area you can only get pumpkins right before Halloween. For some reason even though on Halloween Day there are Hordes of Pumpkins everywhere in the stores; the day after Halloween they are all gone.

Vanished!

Taking with them the precious Pumpkin Seeds. I don’t know why stores don’t carry pumpkins longer!

Especially since we still have Thanksgiving coming up! You know you can’t have Thanksgiving without the traditional Pumpkin Pie (even though I do not like pumpkin Pies..we still have to have one).

Roasted Pumpkin Seed Recipe and Tutorial

Step 1:  First you will need to scrape all the pumpkin seeds out of the pumpkins and place in a bowl and fill with water. You don’t want to use Cold water; as your hands will be in this for a while and you don’t want to freeze them off. Luke warm to medium warm is great.

STEP 2: The Pumpkin seeds Float, thus making it easier to separate the Seeds from the “pulp” of the Pumpkin. Place all seeds in a strainer; and discard the pulp. Rinse the seeds, and lay them out on paper Towels and pat dry.

STEP 3: Follow the RECIPE:

I don't know if American oven temperatures differ from the UK, but one to two hours in an extremely hot oven seemed odd to me and after only 10 minutes my seeds were burnt beyond use and the smoke alarms were going. Surely the seeds only need a few minutes in that hot oven? I was very disappointed as the washing and drying of the seeds was quite time consuming.is it a typo in your recipe?
