Pumpkin Seeds

I just love those things! I can't even stop myself from eating those toasty and salty little guys.


I'm sure they must be good for you also!

🙂

They tend to be slightly scratchy on the way out though.

you need to chew 'em more.

Interesting. I never boil them in salt water, just wash them, put them on a baking sheet, salt them and then cook.

Who knows.

My method is not so scientific.

I wash the seeds, spread them in a glass pan (no oil) and sprinkle heavily with salt. Bake at approx. 300 (or whatever you fancy). Stir several times and when they get toasty, take them out, probably about 30 minutes.

I'm trying your recipe tonight, maybe it is better.

Try to roast them.

Bacon salt usually makes them like seeds on flavor steroids!
