Time 8h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ cups raw cleaned whole pumpkin seeds
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
1 tablespoon bacon grease
¾ tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
1 ½ tablespoons cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon garlic salt
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place the pumpkin seeds in a container with a lid, and mix in the Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, bacon grease, and liquid smoke flavoring. Cover the container, and allow to stand overnight.
  • Preheat the oven's broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • Remove the seeds from the flavorings with a slotted spoon, and transfer into a bowl. Mix the cayenne pepper and garlic salt into the seeds, and stir to coat well. Spread the seeds over a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with additional salt.
  • Roast the seeds under the broiler until toasted and golden brown, about 8 minutes; turn the seeds over twice during broiling. Cool to room temperature.
