Ingredients
  • 6 cups raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup Agave or 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper or your favorite ones
  • Dash of Real Salt
Instructions
Clean the Pumpkin Seeds
  1. Scrub the pumpkin if you see any debris. Let it dry. Cut the top off so you can remove the seeds.

  2. Scrape the seeds out of the pumpkin.

  3. Wash the seeds and let them dry overnight, or at least several hours.

  4. Get a cookie sheet, cover it with foil, and grease it with vegetable oil (so the pumpkin seeds can be removed more easily after baking)

How To Cook/Bake Pumpkin Seeds
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F = (176°C).

  2. Combine the pumpkin seeds in a medium-sized bowl. Combine the Agave or olive oil, Cayenne Pepper, and Real Salt in a small bowl.

  3. Stir the liquid until blended and pour over the pumpkin seeds. Stir the pumpkin seeds with the liquid until covered.

  4. Place the mixture on a foil-covered, greased cookie sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes.

  5. Stir the pumpkin seeds halfway through the cooking period. Let cool and enjoy! These are great for salads or snacks.
