Pumpkin Seed Recipe: Baking Tips and Delicious Ideas

In summary, pumpkin seeds can be baked with the shell on, but it is recommended to remove the shells beforehand. There are various ways to season pumpkin seeds for baking, such as using salt and pepper, garlic powder, cinnamon and sugar, or a combination of herbs and spices. The baking time for pumpkin seeds varies, but they should generally be baked for 20-30 minutes at 300-350 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown and crispy. Store-bought pumpkin seeds can be used for baking, but raw, unsalted ones are recommended for the best results. Pumpkin seeds can also be baked in a convection oven, but the baking time may be slightly shorter.

I know this is a really silly ? but how do you all bake the seeds? I have never really done them before and was wondering if there was anything to it besides pouring salt and baking them?

Or does anyone have an cool recipes for them?

TIA
 
put EVOO on them and salt an bake them on 375 on the large bar stone.
 
I did them last night. I googled a few recipes and used a combo of them. For 2 cups of seeds use 2 tablespoons butter or oil, then I sprinkled garlic salt and cajun seasoning on them. I baked mine at 325 for about 30 minutes or so, stiring every so often until they were the color I wanted them. They came out pretty good.

I rinsed them off then patted with a paper towel and then straight to the oven.
