If you are squeamish with pumpkin guts, the process of roast pumpkin seeds is not going to be easy but you can do it! I remind myself that pumpkin has a lot of nutrients. Getting your hands covered in pumpkin goo is like having a mini-spa treatment.
Ok so I may have made that up but it makes me feel better when the slimy pumpkin strings are stuck to my fingers. Unfortunately, it’s the only way to remove the seeds from the pulp. It’s worth the sacrifice for the deliciousness that is roast pumpkin seeds.
The amount of time it takes will depend on the number of seeds you plan to roast. It can take a while to separate all of the pulp from the seeds. The more you harvest from your pumpkin or squash the longer it will take to clean. They last a really long time in a baggie or air-tight container so do not worry about making too many. You should be more worried about not making enough!!
How to Use Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Other than the obvious, just eat them… there are other things you can do with roasted pumpkin seeds. Use them instead of crackers or croutons in soup. Or use them for crunch on a salad!! No matter how you want to use your roasted pumpkin seeds, you should try roasting your own. It’s very easy, you can control the flavors and if you already have the pumpkin seeds…why waste them!! Roast them!!!
