Baked Pumpkin Seeds
Sunday, October 30, 2011 Easy peasy!!! I love Baked Pumpkin Seeds!!! I eat the shells and all!
Hey what can I say… I’m a weirdo, I eat the shells of Sun Flower Seeds also! They are a little harder to chew up, but hey great fiber! LOL!
Anyway, hope you have a great Halloween!
Step One, pull the seeds out of of the pulp!
Just throw them on a piece of newspaper.
Then rinse off the pulp and throw them on a paper towel.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Dry them off some, but I like to leave them wet so that the seasoning will stick.
This time I used Cajun seasoning, but I also like Sea Salt, if you like sweet, put Cinammon and Sugar on them, Lime would also be great! Just put what you like.
Anyway I spread them out on a cookie sheet lined with foil. They don’t have to be completly even, you can stir them half way through the baking process.
I let them bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them because they can burn quickly. I taste them to see how I like them, they don’t have to be golden and you don’t have to use oil like a lot recipes call for.
Stir them half way through to make sure they are crispy.
This is a fun and easy family project that can become a tradition. ENJOY!
