PEPITAS (ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS) RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Toss the seeds into a colander and rinse them under cold water, pulling away the chunks of pulp as you go. Spread the rinsed seeds out on a baking sheet. It's important to allow the seeds to dry several hours or overnight. Beware: they're quite sticky/slimy, so don't place them on paper towels! Just leave 'em on the baking sheet and they'll be fine. When they're nice and dry, go ahead and preheat the oven to 250°F. Use your fingers to toss the seeds around to coat. Then salt the seeds generously. I use regular table salt for this one. Kosher salt's flakes are too big. And you can really go nuts with the seasoning: cayenne pepper, seasoned salt, even curry powder. But I like to keep it simple. Now just pop 'em in the oven for an hour or so, until the seeds are light golden brown. And that's it! Let them cool for a few minutes...then let the snacking begin! Pepitas need to be stored in an airtight container if they last beyond the first day. But in our kitchen, that hardly ever happens.

OVEN BAKED PUMPKIN SEEDS OR ROASTED PEPITAS

Steps:

• With a really sharp knife cut Pumpkins in half.
• Using a spoon, scoop all of the seeds and place them in a bowl.
• Using your hands, clean them one by one from the pumpkin "gut".
• When you have cleaned all of the pumpkin seeds and placed them into the Mason Jar, fill it up with filtered water and add 1 Tbsp of salt.
• Close the lid and mix it all together. Place it on a Kitchen table and let it soak for a minimum of 3 hours up to as long as overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 150 Celsius or 300 Fahrenheits
• Once your Pumpkin Seeds has been soaked, empty the jar through the sieve and sprinkle with a bit of Extra Virgin Olive oil and salt. If you do not want them salty at all, you can wash them with cold water once again and dry accordingly. Dry the remaining moisture with the paper towel.
• Once dried, spread them on a baking tray covered with a Parchment paper and bake for 20 Minutes on 150 Celsius or 300 Fahreheits. After that reduce the temperature to 100 Celsius or 200 Fahrenheits and roast another 2 Hours until they are crunchy and baked.
