How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds
Rinse pumpkin seeds under cold water and pick out the pulp and strings. (This is easiest just after you've removed the seeds from the pumpkin, before the pulp has dried.)
Place the pumpkin seeds in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet, stirring to coat. If you prefer, omit the oil and coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Sprinkle with salt and bake at 325 degrees F until toasted, about 25 minutes, checking and stirring after 10 minutes.
Let cool and store in an air-tight container.
,,,,Maryland Pumpkin Seeds
4 cups raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay™
vegetable oil cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Rinse pumpkin seeds in a colander.
Spread out on paper towels and pat dry.
Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray
and spread the pumpkin seeds out in a single layer.
Spray the tops of the seeds with additional cooking spray.
Sprinkle the seafood seasoning evenly over the tops.
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven,
stirring occasionally, until dry and toasted.
Cool for a few minutes before serving.
,,,,Toasted Pumpkin Seeds with Sugar and Spice
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds, rinsed and dried
6 tablespoons white sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F .
Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Toast for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until dry and toasted.
Larger seeds may take longer.
In a large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of white sugar,
salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the pumpkin seeds and sprinkle the remaining sugar over them.
Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts, about 45 seconds.
Pour seeds into the bowl with the spiced sugar and stir until coated.
Allow to cool before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
