How to Clean and Prep Pumpkin Seeds

Any pumpkin will do. Simply scoop out the flesh and seeds with a sturdy serving spoon or ice cream scoop. Try to separate the pulp and fiber from the seeds as much as you can before putting them in your colander. Rinse the seeds under cold running water. You’ll probably need to use your hands to help get the seeds completely clean of pumpkin bits. Pat the seeds to dry with a paper towel.

How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds

Once you’ve picked your flavor, spread your pumpkin seeds out on a large baking sheet and let the magic happen. Bake the seeds at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until the seeds are light golden brown and crispy. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
