Step 2: Prep the Seeds

First let's preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. (148C) Then you take your seeds and rinse them off removing as much pumpkin guts/stings, etc, as possible. It is ok to leave a few of the guts here and there, they will add some flavor. Then make sure to dry them. Next place them in a bowl and add 2 tsp. of olive oil, canola oil, melted butter, etc. Use a spoon or fork to make sure the seeds are nice and coated.

Step 3: Seasonings

Now add your seasonings. I am adding a few shakes of salt and a few shakes of garlic powder for my seasonings, you could also give them a bit of kick and add some cajun flavorings. After they are done baking you can add seasonings like ranch and nacho cheese flavor.

Step 4: Bake the Seeds

Now we spread out the seeds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicon mat. You can probably get away without using a liner, but I always like to use one. Now bake them at 300 F for 20 to 30 minutes. 20 minutes is usually long enough. I happened to bake this batch for about 30 minutes or so. They will be nice and golden brown on the edges. Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a serving dish. Enjoy!
