| PEPE'S ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS When making ze' Jack 'o Lantern, why just throw away ze' pumpkin seeds when you can... how you say... bake them in your oven. In just a few minutes, you can have delicious and nutritious snack. Also, they smell great while you bake them! PREP
Find a nice pumpkin that will make a good Jack 'o Lantern. Buy it from your local store, or take ze' kids out to ze' pumpkin patch and let them pick out a winner Bobby. That is definitely much more fun than picking one up at Meijer. You have no idea how long they have been cut. Fresh is always best! Now, cut ze' top open and gut that pumpkin! To roast your pumpkin seeds, do not wash them first! Washing removes all the... how you say in your country... natural flavor. Instead, remove ze' seeds from the strings and place a single layer on a cookie sheet. Try and make an even layer, ze' less they lay on each other, ze' better they can bake. Add salt to taste and bake at 250° until dry, stirring occasionally. I bake mine for about 15 to 30 minutes or until they start to turn a very light gold. |
