Tried this recipe for the first time Halloween 2011. My husband, who claimed to "not like toasted pumpkin seeds" all of a sudden had a change of heart after tasting this recipe! In fact, here it is November 13th and we spent a good part of the day trying to find a farm market still selling pumpkins so we could whip up another batch! I melted 2 tbsp. butter and tossed with the Old Bay. I toast mine for about 2 1/2 hours at 300 degrees to bring them to crunchy perfection! Love this recipe and will pass it down to my kids!

I would suggest not rinsing the pumpkin seeds. You will be amazed at how delicious they are with the pumpkin 'goo' still on them when they have been roasted. I actually just pull the seeds out of the pumpkin, remove the strings, sprinkle with salt and into the oven they go. When golden they are ready to eat. Try it, it is really good.

Using paper towels to dry pumpkin seeds is a BIG mistake. The seeds will stick and will be ruined. A better idea is to let air dry on waxed paper.

Great flavor if you want to try something different. I soaked the seeds in salt water for a few hours then dried them off. Otherwise followed the recipe. My husband loved them. Super easy! Thanks.

Haven't ever made pumpkin seeds before. Super easy and tasty. Didn't have Old Bay, so as some noted I used seasoning salt. Lacked a little flavor, just need to over do the seasoning a bit and they'd be perfect.

We are MD natives living out west, so this is great for us - a taste of home! Delicious! Another great use for Old Bay!

My (12 yr old) step-son wanted to carve a pumpkin this past Halloween just to roast the seeds. This was easy and fun to do and he LOVED eating the seeds.
