ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS
Usually my husband takes on the job. I would probably just chuck the seeds but every year he saves them, cleans them, and makes awesome savory pumpkin seeds. So this recipe is courtesy of The Man Who Ate Everything.
PREPARING YOUR PUMPKIN SEEDS:
- Rinse pumpkin seeds under cold water and remove all of the pumpkin pulp.
- Soak pumpkin seeds in a large bowl filled salt water for a day (or a couple of hours).
- Lay out the pumpkin seeds in a single layer and let them dry out for another day or until dry before roasting them.
HOW TO ROAST PUMPKIN SEEDS:
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- Stir seeds with melted butter, worcestershire, garlic salt, and onion powder in a small bowl making sure they are fully coated.
- Place seeds in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake for 50 – 60 minutes (or until brown and crispy) stirring every 20 minutes.
I like to experiment with my camera and learn all I can by trial and error. To take this floating pumpkin seed picture all I did was put a seed on the end of a 6 inch wooden skewer and stick it in the pile of seeds so that it stands up.
I tried using glue to secure it but it wouldn’t stick so I used some gum I was chewing. Call me Macgyver. Don’t worry, I threw the gummy seed away. Take the picture from above in AV mode with the lowest aperture setting you can (mine was 2.8) focusing on the single seed so that the background blurs out. Easy right?
