Ingredients

1 ½ cups raw whole pumpkin seeds
2 teaspoons butter, melted
1 pinch salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

After removing seeds from gut strands, clean if desired. Toss seeds in a bowl with the melted butter and salt. Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake for roughly 45 minutes or until dried to a golden brown; stir occasionally.

That’s it! After your first try, start putting your own spin on it. Choosing seasoned butter or pre-boiling the seeds in salted water will intensify the appetizing combination.

Test tip: A couple minutes before removing the seeds from the oven, sprinkle on a pinch of sugar to add a sweet variation to the salty flavor. For a lighter taste, use butter-flavored cooking spray.
