Recipe for Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

We do this every year and the kids love it.  

• Obtain a fresh pumpkin.
• Cut into the pumpkin and separate seeds from pulp.

• Wash seeds in a colander.
• Drain them on several layers of paper towel.

• In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp. margarine (butter scorches more easily).  Add 1 tsp salt.
• Add 2 cups pumpkin seeds and saute about 3 minutes, stirring so the seeds are coated with margarine.

• Place seeds on a cookie sheet and bake for 25 minutes in an oven preheated to 300 degrees.
• Drain on a paper towel until pumpkin seeds are crisp and cool enough to eat.
• Enjoy a yummy snack!
