Fresh Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

For years every time we carved our pumkins, George would talk about how we needed to roast the seeds and have fresh roasted seeds to snack on. Well, we tried once or twice, one time we didn't do it soon enough and the seeds got old, one time the seeds in the pumpkin were not good, we stuck them in the oven and they were really just gross.

So this year we looked it up and found a real recipe (or like 100) to make sure we did it right.

So.... now I have to share, because honestly you haven't had pumpkin seeds until you've had them fresh out of the oven!

Directions:

Wash fresh pumpkins seeds and remove the icky pumpkin pulp.

Melt 1/2 stick of butter or margarine and soak clean seeds in the butter for about 10 mins.

Spread seeds on a baking pan in a single layer and salt to taste.

Cook at 300 degrees for about 30-40 mins, until golden brown.

Pretty simple really, don't you think we could have figured that out 5 years ago!!
