    James Bond,[p]Bill is probably up to his #$# w/ Eggtoberfest recipes. Here is his.[p]Pumpkin, Seeds, Roasted, Wise One

    I did a bit more searching and revised the recipe as follows:Roasted Pumpkin Seeds Don't throw out the seeds when making Jack-O-Lanterns or cooking fresh pumpkins, they make great snacks that are rich in fiber as well as vitamins B and E. Kids especially love them. Purists will want only salt as a seasoning, but if you're feeling adventurous, experiment and have fun with seasoning blends.
    [p]1 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds
    2 tsp melted butter or oil (olive oil or vegetable oil work well)
    salt to taste
    Options To Taste:
    garlic powder
    cayenne pepper
    seasoning salt
    Cajun seasoning blend




    **********PREPARATION*********
    1 Rinse pumpkin seeds. Use your fingers to remove all the pulp. Drain pumpkin seeds and discard pulp. Spread out on paper towels to dry overnight.
    2 While it's O.K. to leave some strings and pulp on your seeds (it adds flavor), clean off any major chunks.
    3 Preheat BGE to 300° F and set up for an indirect cook.
    **********COOKING**********
    1 Toss pumpkin seeds in a bowl with the melted butter or oil and seasonings of your choice.
    2 Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer in an aluminum pan lined with non-stick foil (unless you don't mind the cleanup).
    3 Bake for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
    4 Cool pumpkin seeds before eating. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 months or refrigerate up to 1 year.
    **********NOTES**********
    1 If you like your toasted pumpkin seeds extra-salty, soak overnight in a solution of 1/4 cup salt to 2 cups of water. Dry an additional day, then proceed as above.
    2 Pumpkin seeds are also known as pepitas.

    Mario,
    I just cooked some that came out good.
    After hollowing out a pumpkin for carving, we saved and washed off the seeds.
    Then I put them in a baggie with evoo and sea salt and shook it awhile.
    dumped them onto a flat pizza pan, spead them out, put some more sea salt on them.
    put them in a 350 oven and I'd mix 'em up every 10 minutes.
    don't remember how long it took, but after I put them in I realized that I usually dry them overnight first. They came out good! I will probably continue to do them this way. probably takes longer to cook, but they're good!
