I’ve made roasted pumpkin seeds each single yr since my mother let me assist as a child. Yearly, somebody asks me to put up the recipe, however I’ve all the time been like, “nah—it’s probably not a recipe!” It’s SO easy.

How one can simply take away pumpkin seeds from pulp?

First, take away all the seeds from the within of a pumpkin. Place them into a big bowl of water, eradicating as a lot huge items of pulp as potential.

The heavier bits of pulp will sink to the underside whereas the seeds themselves will float. You’ll nonetheless want to make use of your (clear) arms to take away a few of the bits of pulp from the seeds. Gently rub the seeds between your fingers and far (practically all) the pulp will launch and go into the water.

Then give the seeds a superb rinse. If any small bits of pulp stay, I simply go away these—they don’t harm something!

Each pumpkin will yield a distinct quantity of pumpkin seeds, otherwise you may be working with seeds from many pumpkins. So, I consider this recipe as extra of a ratio:

1/3 cup seeds + 1 teaspoon oil + 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt = scrumptious

You’ll be able to regulate the oil and salt based mostly on what number of seeds you might be roasting.
