Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

Wash and drain your seeds and spread them on a nonstick or greased baking sheet. Coat seeds with oil. Bake for about 30-45 minutes at 300 degrees until light brown. Remove and season with salt.

Sweet or Spicy Pumpkin Seeds

Use Worcestershire sauce and butter, salt, or oil before roasting/toasting.
For spicy pumpkin seeds, try cayenne, paprika, chili powder, Hickory BBQ
powder, or Cajun seasoning. For sweet seeds, use brown sugar, cinnamon,
and/or nutmeg before cooking. For candied seeds, stir cooked
seeds in melted caramel and sugar then let cool, separated on a baking sheet.


Pumpkin Seed Brittle

Cook 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup water in a sauce pan. Bring to
a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved and golden. Keep cooking until
golden brown. Stir in 2 cups of toasted seeds and pour your mixture onto
a large nonstick or greased baking pan, spreading it into a thin layer.
Cool it completely, then break into pieces. Keep in an airtight container.


Other Uses

Add toasted pumpkin seeds to a party mix with crackers, chips, and other
nuts. Add them to a soup or salad. Use to garnish your favorite main dishes.
