Ingredients
- Pumpkin seeds and pulp from a hollowed-out pumpkin.
Instructions
- Add enough water to cover all the seeds and pulp by at least 1 inch.
- Using your fingers, gently separate the pumpkin seeds from the pulp. Discard the pulp.
- When the seeds are loose, they will float. Scoop the seeds out with your fingers and put them in a colander.
- Rinse the pumpkin seeds well under cool running water (they will still feel a little "slimy" when you are done).
- Spread the cleaned seeds out in a single layer on a sheet of parchment paper to dry. (Do not use paper towels - the seeds will stick.)
- Roast the cleaned pumpkin seeds with this recipe.
