📝 Preparation Steps
1
To remove the pulp from the pumpkin seeds, place them in a bowl of cold water, swish them around, then let them sit for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes. The pulp will fall to the bottom, while the seeds will float on top. Remove the seeds with a strainer, and discard the rest.

Place the pumpkin seeds in a medium saucepan with 2 quarts water and salt. Bring up to a boil and cook for about ⏱️ 10 minutes. Drain completely, then spread out on to towels to dry. Try to remove as much moisture as possible.

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Toss the seeds with oil, a little more salt, and any seasoning you'd like to use. Roast in the oven for about ⏱️ 20-25 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crisp. Give them a shake and stir them around half way through to ensure even cooking.
