How to make Toasted Pumkin seeds
When baking a pumpkin, make sure you keep the seeds to toast them. Toasted Pumpkin Seeds make a very healthy snack, full of fibers. It's preferable to use organic pumpkins or squash for this.
Try it, it's very easy!
Seeds of 1 pumpkin
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Baking time: 8 to 10 minutes
Difficulty: *
Ingredients:
- seeds of 1 pumpkin or squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- species: salt & pepper / paprika / dried herbs / chili powder...
1. Preheat your oven at 375°F / 280°C
2. Place the seeds in a bowl and toss with the olive oil and spices of your choice. It's good to always add a bit of salt if you don't go for the "salt & pepper only" seeds.
3. Spread the seeds evenly on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once. Make sure the seeds brown very slightly but not too much because they would taste like burning.
Let the seeds cool and store them in an airtight container.
