    INGREDIENTS
    • Seeds from 1 pumpkin, pulp and strings removed
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • Salt, to taste

    Directions

    1. Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they are thoroughly cleaned of strings and pulp. Let them air-dry for at least 3 hours. Once dry, hull them.

    2. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

    3. Add the oil and salt to the seeds, and stir to coat them well. Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast, stirring the seeds every 5 minutes or so, until they are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let the seeds cool, and then taste for salt; add more if necessary.
