Hi. Ok we were carving our pumpkins last night and DD18's boyfriend wanted roasted pumpkin seeds. Who has the best recipe for them?

Ok this is what we do --- preheat oven to 200 degrees next melt a stick of butter/margirine in a medium saucepot - add seeds - stir to coat - dump entire pot of butter and seeds onto cookie sheet with sides and sprinkle with salt - put into heated oven cook 1 hour stiring about every 15 mins or till toasted as brown as you like them..

I do something similar, but with less butter.
Rinse seeds in water--spread evenly in jelly roll pan. Dot with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in 350 degree oven til golden, stirring every ten minutes or so (usually takes about 40-45 min.)
Just made a batch and DH, DD and DS ate 'em all before I got any!

I did mine like this last night:

Rinse seeds under cool water. Evenly oil a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with olive oil. You don't need a lot, just enough to help them not stick. Put a tiny bit of oil on top of the seeds and stir them up and spread in one layer on pan. Sprinkle liberally with seasoning salt. Bake at 325 for 40 minutes, removing from oven every 10 minutes to 'stir'. This prevents sticking and allows them to toast evenly.

The seeds this year were proclaimed, "OMGosh, Mom, these are the best seeds ever!!! Can I take a bunch to school tomorrow for snacks to share?", from my 10 year old.

This is the frist time I have every tried something different than butter and kosher salt.

Here is my recipe

Rinse the seeds and let dry over night.

Toss with melted butter to coat. Liberally coat with salt or with garlic salt (these are the family favorite). Roast for 8 minutes at 425 degrees.
