How to Roast Baby Pumpkin Seeds

Have you ever tried to Roast Baby Pumpkin Seeds?  My husband and kids really love pumpkin seeds, so I thought I would give these a shot.  They really enjoyed my Sugar-Glazed Pumpkin Seeds, too!  I bought some baby pumpkins to try out roasted pumpkin recipes that I found.  So yummy! 

As I was cleaning the pumpkins… I noticed that they had a HUGE number of seeds in them.  I really wasn’t expecting that many seeds in such a small little pumpkin, but I was glad to see them.  I did a simple salted roast, and they came out perfect!  Here’s how you can get your perfect roasted pumpkin seeds:

First, make sure you clean all of the pulp from around your pumpkin seeds.  The easiest way that I have found is to really get your hands dirty!  Take a small handful of seeds, and squish the pulp through your fingers… allowing the seeds to remain in your hands!  At first, I thought it was a little yucky, but it wasn’t too bad once I got used to it.  My kids LOVED sorting the pumpkin seeds, so you can make it a family event.  Lol

Once you have your pumpkin seeds separated, give them a quick spin through a strainer and then place in a medium-sized pot.  Fill the water at least an inch above your seeds.  Add a generous amount of salt and bring to a boil.  Simmer for about 10 minutes and drain.  Now, you can either let your seeds dry on their own, or blot them with a paper towel.  They do not have to be 100% dry… just not dripping wet.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and place your pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet.  Lightly drizzle with olive oil or lightly mist with olive oil spray.  Sprinkle salt generously over the top of you seeds and roast for 10-15 minutes.  That’s it!  It’s that easy to have super yummy roasted baby pumpkin seeds! 

These seeds turned out with a crispier shell and a slightly harder inside than the larger pumpkin seeds.  You could probably get the same crispy result by cooking larger seeds a little bit longer.  Just be careful not to burn the inside.  Oh – and if you let them cool a little bit before you eat them… the shells will crisp even more!  So good!  How do you like your pumpkin seeds?  Check out my sugar-glazed pumpkin seed recipe here!

I am so excited to tell you about OnePiece.com!  When I first heard about the review opportunity, I wasn’t really sure what to think.  I’ve heard about OnePiece suits before, but I had never thought about purchasing one.

When I was looking through the site, I was amazed at how cool these things were!  My husband saw me checking out the site and he really wanted one!  Thanks to OnePiece, he was able to get his!

He ordered the Supremacy Onesie in Worn Demin, which was perfect for him.  He loves to wear jeans and he also loves to lounge around in comfortable clothes.  I was so excited to receive it.  I was very impressed with the packaging and the care that this company provided.  You can tell that they take pride in their product.  Here is how the package looked:

The one piece was carefully folded and placed into this smooth, frosted poly bag.  The bag had buttons on the top to ensure that the OnePiece was protected at all times.
