How To Make roasted squash seeds
-
Step 1After cleaning the squash, transfer the seeds and pulp to a bowl and fill it to the top with cold water.
-
Step 2Swish them around until the seeds and pulp separate – if there’s some attached to the seeds, separate with your fingers.
-
Step 3Transfer the seeds onto a paper towel, spreading them out in a single layer. Pat them dry if needed.
-
Step 4After a couple hours, transfer them onto a clean dish towel, spreading them out into a single layer and let them dry for another 2 hours.
-
Step 5Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
-
Step 6When the seeds are dried off, drop them into a bowl and drizzle on some grapeseed oil or any other flavorless oil; stir to coat.
-
Step 7From here, use any spices of your choice or seasoning salt.
-
Step 8Scoop them up onto the prepared baking sheet and spread the seeds into a single layer.
-
Step 9Transfer them to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.
