How To Make roasted squash seeds

  • Step 1
    After cleaning the squash, transfer the seeds and pulp to a bowl and fill it to the top with cold water.
  • Step 2
    Swish them around until the seeds and pulp separate – if there’s some attached to the seeds, separate with your fingers.
  • Step 3
    Transfer the seeds onto a paper towel, spreading them out in a single layer. Pat them dry if needed.
  • Step 4
    After 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 5
    Preheat oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Step 6
    When 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 7
    From here, use any spices of your choice or seasoning salt.
  • Step 8
    Scoop them up onto the prepared baking sheet and spread the seeds into a single layer.
  • Step 9
    Transfer them to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool before serving.
