October 2nd the great pumpkin challenge

For day two I want to talk about roasting pumpkin seeds.

Lola and I decided to roast seeds. Tasty, healthy, and simple.

Step 1: Cut open pumpkin and pull out seeds.

Step 2 : Use a strainer and wash seeds clean.

Step 3: Boil seeds. For every half cup of seeds use 2 cups water and 2 tablespoons of salt. Boil for 5 minutes. This helps the salt soak into the seed and keep the salty flavor, plus it helps them stay tender.

Step 4: Strain seeds again and pat dry with paper towel.

Step 5: Line a cookie sheet with a good glob of olive oil. Spread your seeds out evenly across pan and give it a few wiggles to help coat the seeds in oil. Then sprinkle with salt.

Step 6: Bake in oven 350 for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how big the seeds are. You just want them to be lightly toasted golden brown color.

Step 7: Enjoy!
