I do my pumpkin seeds differently than most people, but damn they are good. Scoop out seeds and do not rinse or soak. I leave a nice coating of the goop on because I think that's where the flavor is. Toss all seeds with maybe a tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt (use any seasoning you want, or none).
Bake at 350. I have no idea how long. Just keep pulling them out and tossing them around. When they are all golden brown, they're done. Don't leave the room! haha. I have burned my fair share!0 -
I do 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes. I sometimes spread them on a sheet and put them in the fridge overnight to help dry them out before baking.
Toss in a little oil
Sprinkle with favorite seasoning:cinnamon & sugar, curry, paprika, garlic salt, cajun seasoning, taco seasoning, sea salt - really anything. Just keep an eye on any with sugar as they may start to brown faster than expected.
Spread in a single layer on sheet pan, toss a few times throughout cooking
Some people do low and slow for better drying, but I'm impatient.0 -
I don't like the goop flavor, so I wash, salt when wet then let dry for a day or two. I heat them dry in a cast iron skillet on med burner tossing continuously until they brown & pop, just a couple minutes.0

I tend to leave some goop on, too - adds some nutrients, and sometimes flavor. But I let them dry for a day or two as well before roasting (I do the 350 F baking for them as well). We have done numerous recipes, but letting them dry a day or two tends to make the outer shell crispier when you toast it, just a really nice texture improvement, so we do this now for all the recipes we use.0
