Instructions
- Cut the top off of the pumpkins. Scrape out the insides of the pumpkin, getting all of the seeds and pulp. I use a spoon to make sure that I clean the pumpkin out well.
- While you are cleaning out the seeds, try to separate the seeds from the stringy pulp, place the seeds into a large colander and the strings into the garbage.
- Once done, rinse the seeds in the colander to clean the seeds as much as possible, but don't worry the next step cleans them really well!
- Place 2-3 cups of seeds into a stockpot. Add in the 4 cups of water and 2 tbsp of salt.
- Boil the seeds until they are slightly grey-ish, around 15-20 minutes. Scoop any pumpkin pulp off the top of the water as it floats off the seeds and throw out.
- Drain the seeds completely.
- Place the seeds onto clean kitchen towels to dry off.
- Place onto baking sheets and leave overnight to dry out.
- The next day, preheat your oven to 200 °F.
- Toss the seeds with the melted butter and olive oil, adding any seasonings you want at this point. We love seasoning salt!
- Dry out in the preheated oven for another 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure the moisture is evaporating.
- Raise the oven temperature to 300 and bake for another 45 minutes, or until they are raelly dry and crispy brown on the outside.
- Remove and enjoy.
Notes
- Season these however you want! Curry, garlic, seasoning salt, anything goes!
- If you want them saltier, add another tablespoon of salt into the boiling water.
