I love pumpkin as well. I'm excited that fall is around the corner so all the yummy seasonal pumpkin foods will soon appear.

Of course, I'm also excited for fall because I'm tired of the 100+ degree days here in TX. But that's another thread. :D

I don't like pumpkin itself, but I like cooked pumpkin seeds. I haven't had them is so long, this thread reminded me of my love for them.

I have never eaten pumpkin seeds. Do you roast them? Season them?

Texas Rose -

Will this help??

PUMPKIN SEEDS

Extract sees from pumpkin.
Separate and discard pulp.
Thoroughly wash seeds in warm water.
Spread seeds out onto a cookie sheet.
Sprinkle generously with salt.
Put into oven and bake at 350* F. approximately 20 minutes.
Check every five minutes and stir, adding more salt or to taste.
Check seeds to see if they are done by taking a sample out, allowing to cool and tasting. If the insides are dry, they are done.
Allow to cool and serve.

VARIATIONS:

Cheesy Pumpkin Seeds- sprinkle with Cheesy popcorn seasoning.
Tex-Mex Style- Sprinkle powdered Taco seasoning onto the seeds. This is better mixed in a bowl first. Add more red pepper powder for a really hot seed!
Cajun style- Mix seeds in a bowl with a packet of Cajun seasonings mix. If you like it really spicy, add extra hot sauce.
Garlic Salt- REALLY GOOD!
