How to Pre-Salt Pumpkin Seeds

This quick method of pre-salting pumping seeds gives your seeds a nice salted flavor all the way through. Pre-salting before roasting allows the salt to soak through to the inside seed, so whether you like whole seed or only the inside, you can always taste the salt.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 cups water
• Small saucepan
• 2 tbs. salt
• 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
• Colander
• Baking sheet

1. Pour 2 cups of water into a small saucepan. Boil the water on the stove with the pan uncovered.

2. Stir in 2 tbs. salt and continue to boil until the salt completely dissolves. Add 1/2 cup of pumpkin seeds.

3. Simmer your seeds on medium high heat uncovered for 10 minutes. The pumpkin seeds turn gray when they're salted through.

4. Drain your pre-salted pumpkin seeds in a colander. You don't need to rinse the pumpkin seeds.

5. Spread your drained seeds on a baking sheet for roasting. Roast your pumpkin seeds before they dry completely.

Tips & Warnings

• You can use either kosher salt or table salt for pre-salting your pumpkin seeds.
