Ingredients

  • 2 cup pumpkin seeds
US Units - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F. Slice the pumpkin in half. Using your hands, remove the seeds from as much of the pulp as possible. Layer the seeds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast the seeds for about 15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown.

  • Lower the heat of the oven to 200°F and keep the door of the oven ajar (this allows the steamy air to escape and helps crisp up the seeds).

  • Bake the pumpkin seeds for about an hour, giving them a stir every 15 or so minutes. Remove the seeds from the oven and let them cool at room temperature. Enjoy!
