Questions About How To Roast Pumpkin Seeds

William asks…

What is the quickest and easiest way to roast pumpkin seeds?

I bought some pre-hulled pumpkin seeds and the package suggested roasting them. How can I roast the seeds?

admin answers:

The easiest way is to use a pre-seasoned cast iron skillet or non-stick skillet on the stove top with the temperature set to med-high. Stir frequently until roasted to the desired degree of preference. Be cautious not to burn them and remember to stir. Adding oil is not necessary. And, if you are going to salt them do it immediately upon removal from the pan. The seeds will still be hot and the salt will stick better to the natural oils in the seeds. Pulsing table salt in a spice grinder, coffee grinder or food processor makes the salt finer and better for this application.

How Long Does It Take To Roast Pumpkin Seeds In A Toaster-Oven? And How Do I Salt Them?

I have pumpkin seeds all ready to be toasted, but I don't know how long to toast them in my toaster-oven. And I also don't know how to salt them.

admin answers:

Clean them up then soak in heavy salt water for about 30 minutes, then put on a edged cookie sheet spread them out and add just enough of that heavily salted water, to cover bottom of pan, then cook at 225/250 until water is gone, then for about 15/ 30 minutes after that, let cool then eat! (not the shells thought) lol

Susan asks…

I want to roast pumpkin seeds but I don't know how... advice please?

I just carved my halloween pumpkin and I want to roast the seeds in my oven. I already cleaned all the stringies off and rinsed them off really well. What temperature do I put the oven at and can I season them before I put them in the oven? How long do I roast them for? Do I have to put it really close to the heat source, like the very top rack? Please help! Thanks!
