Pepitas (Roasted Pumpkin or Squash Seeds)
 |
 |
Preheat oven to 300º F. Separate the seeds from the pumpkin strings. Thoroughly wash the pumpkin seeds.
|
Per 1 cup of clean pumpkin seeds, you will need: 1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil and ½ to 1 tsp. of salt (adjust to your taste). |
 |
 |
Cover seeds with oil and mix well.
|
Spread oiled seeds in a single layer onto ungreased cookie sheet. |
 |
 |
Sprinkle desired amount of salt onto seeds. Experiment with your favorite seasoning salts.
|
Place pumpkin seeds in preheated 300º F oven until browned, approximately 45 - 55 minutes. Stir/shake in 5-10 minute intervals to prevent burning. |
Microwave Pumpkin Seeds
When short on time, microwave pumpkin seeds. In a microwave safe ceramic/glass dish, mix 1 cup of pumpkin seeds and up to 1 Tbsp. of vegetable oil. Toast in microwave for 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir. Continue to toast in increments of 1 minute, stirring in between, until desired crispness. Add salt to taste.
Storing Pumpkin Seeds
If pumpkin seeds are not consumed within 1-2 days, refrigerate in an air tight container. When refrigerated, expect the seeds to last for one to two months at peak freshness.
