How to Make The Salt Stick to Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Each Halloween many families labor intensively carving pumpkins, removing the fleshy pulp, and cleaning the seeds in hopes of roasting the pumpkin seeds for a crisp and salty snack. Many will be disappointed in the outcome of the roasted pumpkin seeds because the salt will not stick. These pumpkin seeds will be nothing but a bland and tasteless snack. If you want to avoid this problem this Halloween, follow the steps below.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• pumpkin seeds
• salt
• water

1. Remove the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin.

2. Remove the pulp from the pumpkin seeds. Rinse the pumpkin seeds in a collander.

3. Place the pumpkin seeds in a shallow baking pan. A cookie sheet will work great.

4. Make a salt water solution consisting of 1 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of water. Cover the pumpkin seeds halfway with the saltwater.

5. Place pumpkin seeds in a 200 degree oven and bake until all the water has evaporated and the pumpkin seeds are crisp.

Tips & Warnings

• This works best if the pumpkin seeds are carefully arranged in a single layer. This allows the salt to distribute more evenly over the pumpkin seeds.
