We have never made pumpkin seeds at home before so it was a big surprise to us to find out how good they turned out…
INGREDIENTS
- fresh pumpkin seeds – washed or not (I like them not washed with bits of pumpkin flesh still on them)
- garlic salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- few tbs of unsalted butter
EQUIPMENT
- baking tray
METHOD
- Season seeds with garlic salt, black pepper and mix with butter.
- Roast in the oven preheated to 180°C (356°F) stirring constantly for about 40 minutes or until golden brown. Seeds should be crunchy, if they are still chewy place them back in the oven for couple of minutes.
- Remove from the oven and enjoy.
NOTES
More Halloween ideas.
The father of a friend of mine did these, or his own recipe at least, every year and they are addictive.

Thank you for the comments :)
This was the first time I ever roasted pumpkin seeds, and they came out delicious, kids loved it but not my partner.
Wiffy – my boyfriend is working on the theme, it still needs some improvements, that’s why it is still in “beta” ;)
Oh, delicious! Why haven’t I made roasted pumpkin seeds yet this year?
This is a must try! Margot thank you for sharing this with us.

With the risk of sounding terribly stupid, do you eat the whole pumpkin seed? I’ve always gobbled up the inner, green kernels with glee, but the shells?!? Is it safe?
We were eating them with shells, when they are roasted become crunchy… even my 3 year old daughter loved those seeds.
