Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

275° - 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

• Raw pumpkin seeds
• 1/4 c butter (4 T)
• 1 tsp sea salt

Directions:

When you are carving your pumpkin, separate the seeds from the pumpkin flesh and strings. Wash them well (usually putting then in a big bowl of water and rubbing them between your hands is a fast way to clean them) and let them drain in a strainer for about 30 minutes, then spread them out on a baking pan.

Spread the seeds on a cookie sheet and season them

Heat them in a 275-degree oven for 10 to 20 minutes until golden brown. KEEP AN EYE ON THEM, checking every few minutes and stir about every 5 minutes. Some ovens run hot and it can be as little as 10 minutes or as long as 30 minutes to roast them. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot or cold.
