Summary
As pumpkins abound during Halloween, don't miss the opportunity to enjoy their delicious seeds.Article Body
Pumpkin seeds are a tasty and nutritious treat, especially when prepared just right! If you're planning to roast them with their shells on, opt for seeds from sugar pumpkins, which are smaller than the typical carving pumpkins. The secret to perfect pumpkin seeds lies in boiling them in salted water before toasting.
Ingredients
- One medium-sized pumpkin- Salt
- Olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut open the pumpkin using a sturdy metal spoon to scoop out the insides. Separate the seeds from the stringy core and give them a good rinse.
2. Boil the Seeds: In a small saucepan, combine the seeds with water, using about 2 cups of water for every half cup of seeds. Add a tablespoon of salt for every cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Drain the seeds when done.
3. Roast the Seeds: Coat a cookie sheet with a tablespoon of olive oil or use a cooking spray. Spread the seeds evenly in a single layer on the sheet. Bake on the top rack for about 20 minutes, or until the seeds are nicely browned. Once done, allow them to cool completely on a rack before eating. You can enjoy the seeds whole or crack them open to eat the inner seed.
Alternative Recipe
For a twist, you can use pumpkin seeds as a flavorful crust or coating.
- Roast ½ cup of pumpkin seeds with 4 cloves of garlic.
- Process together, adding 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs.
- Use this mixture to coat fish, chicken, lamb, and more.
