Recipe of the Week: TOASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS
That was fast, I was able to find something in my recipe archive and very timely for Halloween after I checked out this acne body wash.
How's everyone's Halloween week? Ours will start tomorrow with a Pumpkin Patch Field Trip then on Friday, a fall celebration then weekend will be all about trick or treating with DS wearing his Optimus Prime Costume.
I am hoping to be able to carve one Pumpkin after our trip tomorrow and keep the seeds and try this recipe I snagged from THIS SITE.
Toasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe
Ingredients
* One medium sized pumpkin
* Salt
* Olive oil
Method
1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut open
the pumpkin and use a strong metal spoon to scoop out the insides. Separate the
seeds from the stringy core. Rinse the seeds.
2 In a small saucepan, add the
seeds to water, about 2 cups of water to every half cup of seeds. Add a half
tablespoon of salt for every cup of water (more if you like your seeds saltier).
Bring to a boil. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
3
Spread about a tablespoon of olive oil over the bottom of a roasting pan. Spread
the seeds out over the roasting pan, all in one layer. Bake on the top rack
until the seeds begin to brown, 10-20 minutes. When browned to your
satisfaction, remove from the oven and let the pan cool on a rack. Let the seeds
cool all the way down before eating. Either crack to remove the inner seed (a
lot of work and in my opinion, unnecessary) or eat whole.
