Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

This is really simple, and most of you probably learned how to make this in girl scouts or something when you were a kid. But I had never really known how to make them good, and these turned out well, so I thought I'd share. This recipe is from simplyrecipes.com

Ingredients
  • Pumpkin seeds, cleaned and rinsed
  • Salt
  • Olive oil

Method

1 Preheat oven to 400°F.

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.
