How to Season Pumpkin Seeds

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Jenny with Simply Beautiful Crafts on behalf of Expert Village, and today we're going to do one my favorite things about Halloween. We're going to roast pumpkin seeds. Yum-yum. Well, we have washed our pumpkin seeds. We may have boiled our pumpkin seeds and let them sit in salty water and we have them nice and dry. Now, we're ready to add more seasoning to our seeds if we want to. Some people like to put their seeds in a pan that's been coated with some kind of cooking oil or butter. Butter you have to make sure you cook at very low temperature. You just spread your seats out in the pan to make sure that they're not touching. Perhaps take your olive oil and drizzle it, or your canola oil, your sesame oil, your peanut oil. Drizzle it over your seeds and add some salt. Other people like to put their seeds in a bowl and take one of the special seasonings and toss their seeds in a bowl with special seasonings. Some people just like to roast their seeds in the oven with just the salt. That's the traditional way. I kind of like to experiment. Whatever you're going to do to your seeds, you want to do it before you put it in the oven because you don't want to be bringing it out and adding seasonings to it. So you are almost ready to toast your seeds. Once you have your seasonings on, it's ready to go in the oven."
