Recipe: Spicy Pumpkin Seeds

27/10/2018

Don't throw away your home-grown pumpkin seeds. Wash, removing all pumpkin flesh, dab dry with a clean tea towel, then let dry for 24 hours. Add a little oil, salt and spices, and roast in a hot oven for fifteen/twenty minutes. Delish!

There's an oil free version as well:
Brine the freshly harvested seeds in salted water (enough salt to taste!) overnight or up to 24 hours. No need to clean the finer fibres off...

The next day preheat the oven to 220C/450 F. Drain & rinse the seeds briefly. Spread the wet seeds out on a clean baking sheet & sprinkle with a mixture of salt, sugar & seasonings.
Bake for 20 minutes flipping once about halfway through.
Serve warm with an aperitif - or a nice cold beer!

A no fat version is always a benefit Marie. We will give that a go at some point when we next have a pumpkin; which won't be long!
