The kids and I made roasted pumpkin seeds. I asked ChatGPT how to do it so I am just including that below. I did boil them too.
They were really good though I don't think the kids liked them too much
Here's how to clean, prepare, and roast pumpkin seeds:
1. Cleaning the Seeds:
- Scoop out the seeds: After cutting open the pumpkin, scoop out the seeds along with the pulp.
- Separate seeds from pulp: Place the seeds in a bowl of water and use your hands to separate the seeds from the stringy pulp. The seeds will float, making it easier to pick them out.
- Rinse: Place the seeds in a colander and rinse them under cold water to remove any remaining pulp.
2. Preparing the Seeds:
- Dry the seeds: Spread the seeds out on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and pat them dry. Let them air dry for about 30 minutes to remove excess moisture.
- Optional boiling: For extra crispiness, you can boil the seeds in salted water for 10 minutes, then drain and dry them.
3. Roasting the Seeds:
- Preheat oven: Set the oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Season: Toss the seeds in a bowl with olive oil or melted butter, and season with salt. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Spread on a baking sheet: Lay the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast: Bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seeds are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool: Let the seeds cool before eating.
Enjoy your roasted pumpkin seeds!
