Ingredients
- 1 whole Pumpkin, Gutted
- Olive Oil
- Table Salt
- Any Seasonings You Want, Such As Cayenne, Curry Powder, Etc. (optional)
Instructions
- As you gut the pumpkins, keep all the seeds—and guts—in a bowl.
- Throw them into a colander and rinse them under cold water, pulling away the chunks of pulp as you go.
- Spread the rinsed seeds out on a baking sheet.
- Allow the seeds to dry several hours or overnight. And beware: they’re quite sticky/slimy, so don’t place them on paper towels! Just leave ‘em on the baking sheet and they’ll be fine.
- When they’re nice and dry, go ahead and preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
- Begin by drizzling the seeds with a couple teaspoons of olive oil.
- Use your fingers to toss the seeds around to coat.
- Then salt and season the seeds to taste.
- Pop ‘em in the oven for an hour or so, until the seeds are light golden brown.
- Let them cool for a few minutes…then let the snacking begin!
- Pepitas need to be stored in an airtight container if they last beyond the first day.
