kabocha squash seeds*
- 1/2 cup kabocha squash seeds cleaned and dried

Instructions
- set oven to 375F
- Toss the seeds with the oil and the appropriate seasonings in a small bowl. Make sure to get all the seeds evenly coated.
- Spread the seeds out on a dry baking sheet, making sure they're in a single layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until they turn golden and start to pop. I like to stir them around once or twice during the cooking to rearrange them so they cook evenly. Note: some seeds do not pop, so if they've turned golden after 20 minutes, they're done.
- Let cool on the baking sheet and then you can put them in a bowl for serving. Add more salt or seasonings to taste.

Notes
- For larger seeds like kabocha and pumpkin boil the seeds in salted water for 10 minutes first. Drain and dry on paper towels before roasting. This will soften the tough outer shells.
- You can completely leave out the oil and toast the seeds dry, if you like. The only problem is that the seasonings won't stick to the seeds, so they will have to be plain. I found they were delicious this way, too!
