Toasted Pumpkin Seeds - 3 Ways

These tiny, edible trophies you get from pumpkin carving make a great snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds well-cleaned and well-dried
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, toss the pumpkin seeds with the olive oil and sea salt.

  2. Transfer the pumpkin seeds to the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15-30 minutes, or until the seeds are deeply golden. A zap under a broiler is a nice finishing tough, but not necessary.

  3. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a minute or two, and enjoy plain, or stir in any of the following for some favorite variations

  4. - zest of one lemon, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper and 8 finely chopped olives

    - 2 tsp curry powder and 2 tsp brown sugar

    - 2 grated cloves of garlic and a handful of minced chives
