ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS

The not-so-secret secret to roasting fresh pumpkin seeds - and crisping them properly - is making sure they're really dry. Patting the seeds down with paper towels does a fine job, but drying them out in the oven is even more efficient and effective. Once they've toasted slightly, simply dress them with oil and salt, then continue to roast them until lightly golden. Feel free to add spices - say za'atar, or cinnamon and cayenne - in Step 3 with the oil and salt. But take note: Some add-ins, like nutritional yeast or raw sugar, may melt under high heat, so sprinkle them onto the seeds just after roasting.

Time 40m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup fresh pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • To clean the pumpkin seeds of pumpkin slime and flesh, put the seeds in a large bowl filled with cold water. The seeds will float to the top. Skim them out with your hands, pulling away any flesh that's stuck on the seeds. Shake the seeds in your hand to get of any excess water, then transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Pat the seeds down with a paper towel, then toast them until they're dry and tacky, about 5 minutes.
  • Pull baking sheet out of the oven. Drizzle the seeds with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Toss to coat, then spread into an even layer. Return seeds to oven, and bake, stirring occasionally, until light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Let cool. Seeds will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Look for pumpkins that are medium to large in size, with a deep orange color and a firm texture. Avoid pumpkins that have blemishes or soft spots.
  • Clean the pumpkin seeds thoroughly: Remove all of the pulp and stringy fibers from the pumpkin seeds. Rinse the seeds under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • Season the pumpkin seeds well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices to flavor the pumpkin seeds. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Roast the pumpkin seeds at a high temperature: This will help to create crispy, golden brown seeds. The ideal roasting temperature is between 400°F and 425°F.
  • Stir the pumpkin seeds occasionally: This will help to ensure that the seeds cook evenly.

Conclusion:

Roasted pumpkin seeds are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Roasted pumpkin seeds can also be used in a variety of recipes, such as salads, soups, and baked goods.
