Roasted pumpkin seeds

MommyToAshley wrote: So, we carved our pumpkins last night and I roasted the seeds. They didn't turn out very well. Not sure what I did wrong. How do you toast your seeds?

I just washed them off, put a little oil on the pan, added salt and roasted them. Did I forget something?

PrairieMom replied: I usually soak mine overnight in a solution of salt water , then do the oil thing, then sprinkle them with more salt before baking.

lisar replied: I have never even ate them before. Are they good?

MommyToAshley replied:
Usually they are... but mine didn't turn out. I might try butter and garlic salt next year.

Boo&BugsMom replied: I don't use anything other than salt. I rinse them, then spread them out on a baking sheet, then sprinkle with salt, cook them for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees. They turn out perfect every time.

MommyToAshley replied: Maybe I just had bad seeds...

lisar replied: I am gona have to try them.

Calimama replied: Ew, I don't like those.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I've never had them turn out, either. But I did hear of someone letting them "dry" overnight (no rinsing) and then baking the next day with olive oil and seasonings. I'm going to try that this year. Yes, I realize that Halloween is tomorrow and NO, we haven't carved pumpkins yet.
