Kickin Toasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until dry and toasted. Larger seeds may take longer.
• In a large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of white sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and sprinkle the remaining sugar over them. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts, about 45 seconds. Pour seeds into the bowl with the spiced sugar and stir until coated. Allow to cool before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Set oven to 400 degrees.
• Set oven rack to middle position.
• Cut open the pumpkin.
• Use a strong metal spoon to scoop out the insides of the pumpkin.
• Separate the seeds from the stringy core.
• Rinse the seeds under cold water.
• In a small saucepan add in the seeds to the water and salt (the amount of water and salt you will need is listed in the heading) bring to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes (set timer to for this, and start timer when water is at a full boil).
• Remove from heat and drain well.
• Place on a paper towel and pat the seeds fairly dry (they do not have to be completely dry!).
• Brush about 1 tablespoon olive oil in the bottom of a cookie/baking sheet.
• Spread out the seeds onto the cookie/baking sheet in one layer.
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until the seeds begin to brown.
• When the seeds are browned to your liking then remove from oven and let the pan cool on a rack.
• Sprinkle with salt if desired.
• Either crack open to remove the inner seed or eat whole.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Scatter pumpkin seeds onto a sheet pan in a single layer and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Bake for about 7 minutes, until light brown and crispy.

Steps:

• 1. Once the innards are scraped from the pumpkin or squash, remove the seeds from the squishy, stringy stuff, rinse and spread out to dry.
• 2. Preheat oven to 375°F.
• 3. In a bowl combine all ingredients until seeds are coated well.
• 4. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake until toasted and slightly browned, about 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through. Watch carefully to avoid burning as all ovens vary on cook times. Remove from oven, and let cool before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Spread the pumpkin seeds on a medium baking sheet. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with salt.
• Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Toss seeds in a bowl with the melted butter and salt. Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown; stir occasionally.

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.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except seeds in large skillet.
• Heat well, stirring to mix. Add seeds and stir to coat well. Spread in shallow pan.
• Bake in preheated 300ºF oven for 10 mins or until crisp. Stir occasionally. Cool.
