3 cups raw whole pumpkin seeds
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon butter
These are a fun snack. We like ours with Lawry's Seasoning salt and I prefer cooking mine on the stove. That way you can monitor the seeds better and add more seasoning as necessary. These are always better after they have cooled awhile and become crispy - put them in a tupperware container to store.
My six year old was able to help which was good. They took a lot longer to bake than was instructed in the recipe and even then seeds seemed too chewy, we added popcorn seasoning (dill) which gave them a bit more flavor.

This recipe worked well. Although, the ingredients list 2 tbps of water and the recipe does not mention water. Is there a step missing?
FANTASTIC...these were a hit with everyone including myself.
Very simple and yummy!! I added some paprika and it really added a great taste.
This is perfect for parties. You can use spices to sprinkle over top as well. Such as Garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, Taco seasoning .etc.
These were crispy and pretty good. The kids loved them.
luckily I had a pumpkin with little goo and strings! Easy and alot of fun! They smell great baking!!
