Roasting Pumpkin Seeds

October 08, 2021

A classic Fall snack!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups fresh, raw pumpkin seeds (as clean as you can get them)
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 2 tsp mild flavoured olive oil
• 2 tsp Saltwest Spicy Ancho Chili Sea Salt (or your favourite spice blend)

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
• Fill a medium saucepan with about 2 cups of water and season with 2 tsp kosher salt. Bring to a boil
• In the meanwhile, scoop the seeds from your pumpkin. Add the pumpkin seeds to a bowl filled with cold water and swish them around until the seeds float and are mostly clean
• Add the cleaned seeds to the salted water and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and pull away any remaining pumpkin attached to the seeds
• Scatter the seeds onto a clean towel and pat them very dry
• Mound the dried seeds onto the prepared baking sheet. Add the oil and chili salt and toss until well coated
• Spread the seeds into one layer. Bake, stirring the seeds at least once, until fragrant and golden around the edges - usually 15 to 25 minutes depending how large the seeds are
