Homemade Roasted Pumpkin Seeds image

Carving pumpkins may get all the Halloween glory, but it's roasting the oh-so-addictive seeds inside that's become our favorite treat for any time of year. Pumpkin seeds, also called Pepitas, are an amazing snack that you can roast and enjoy in just a few simple steps. You can season your seeds any way you like, opting for a savory flavor profile-think cumin and coriander-or a sweet combination, like cinnamon and ginger. No matter how you season them, roasted pumpkin seeds serve as the perfect blank canvas for the flavors of your choice.

Time 40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 small (6 lb) fresh-well-ripened pumpkin
Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Cut pumpkin in half. Remove the membrane and seeds. Remove most of the pulp from the seeds (leave some pulp on - it adds to the flavor; for the same reason, do not rinse the seeds).
  • Spread seeds in a shallow, jelly roll pan with sides, 15x10x 1 1/2 inches. Spray seeds with cooking spray; sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until browned; cool.
