So while trying new pumpkin themed recipes, I wondered if I can do anything with the seeds. And it turns out it’s very easy. You don’t even need to take the outer layer off if you cook it enough.
Simply scoop out the seeds, rinse and then spread them out over a roasting tray. I left them like this for a while before roasting at 150C for 30 mins.
When 30 mins is up, drizzle some olive oil, salt, cumin and five spice seasoning over the seeds and toss to make sure they’re all covered and put in the oven for another 30 mins.
That’s it! Easy and delicious! I especially enjoyed the popping noises after the second session, which continued randomly after a few hours.
What a great idea, it costs a fortune to buy the seeds already done and this is much more fun!

You can shell them if you like, to get the green ones inside that you’re used to seeing, but you don’t need to! You can also make them sweet with cinnamon etc ☺
