Seed Your Way To Better Health: Easy Recipe Of Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Preheat oven to 300°F, then scoop and rinse pumpkin seeds, removing excess flesh and water, to prepare them for roasting.

Dry pumpkin seeds by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel and gently patting dry, being prepared for them to slightly stick. 

Place the seeds on a baking sheet and drizzle with a small amount of oil,approximately 1 teaspoon for 3/4 cup of seeds. Season with a pinch or two of salt.

Toss the seeds on a baking sheet with oil and salt until they are evenly coated. Spread them into a single layer, though some overlapping is fine. 

Roast until the seeds are just starting to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. If your oven has uneven spots, you may want to stir after 10 minutes. 

Let roasted pumpkin seeds cool on the baking sheet before serving.

For a sweet twist, roast pumpkin seeds with brown sugar, maple syrup, and spices, or try a sweet-hot version with honey and Sriracha
