Pumpkin seeds recipe

[Athos]

To make your own seeds, scoop out all the seeds from the pumpkin
with a sharp knife and spoon. Dump them on a plate and pick out the
bits of pumpkin stuff. Then let them dry for a while.
Light the oven to about 300 or 250.
Spread the seeds on a sturdy
pan. Salt the seeds.

Bake them about 30 minutes. Check every 15 minutes. Make sure they are
dry and crisp. Very good.

Fresh-from-the-gourd pumpkin seeds are white and unhulled, making them a little tougher but still delicious. Natural foods stores sell hulled, dusky-green pumpkin seeds, called pepitas, both raw and roasted. Refrigerate and use within a month or two. Pumpkin seeds provide magnesium and manganese, as well as protein and zinc. Roasting enhances pumpkin seeds’ sweet, buttery flavor. To roast fresh ones, rinse and massage to remove pumpkin pulp, roll in a towel to dry, and spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with olive oil and sea salt, plus any savory or sweet flavors that suit your fancy; experiment with paprika, maple syrup, cinnamon, Cajun spice, or powdered rosemary. Roast at 325 degrees, stirring occasionally, for 30–45 minutes, until toasted. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds atop green salads or steamed vegetables; stir into rice pilaf or risotto. Or grind the seeds in a food processor; mix with olive oil and sherry vinegar for a healthy salad dressing, or stir into dips and hummus to boost good fats.

We used to buy boxes of dried and salted pumpkins seeds long ago ate ate them until our lips were raw and wrinkled. They were so good. I've tried making my own but not as good as the ones in the box.
