Pumpkins Seeds, taste superb and are good for you.
You must think before you throw away those pumpkin seeds you chipped out of your pumpkin this year!!
There's good dietary benefit in those seeds, not to mention a yummy break even the kids will adore. They're high in Phosphorous and our bones need that for cell mending, fatigue and weakness. In one ozthere's 333mg of it.
This is how to prepare and cook your pumpkin seeds.
After you have scooped your pumpkin, put the seeds in a glass bowl.
Next, separate the seeds from all the stringing pumpkin meat.
You will have to do this pretty quickly because once you've let them sit and they have gotten too dry,
they'll be not so easy to clean.
Using a cold-water rinse, finish taking off what is left of the stringy fiber (there will be some tiny bits left more than likely) off the seeds.
Place a strainer in the sink so you do not lose all that pumpkin goop in your sink drain.
Once your pumpkin seeds are totally clean, put them on a waxed paper cookie sheet to dry. You can leave them to dry overnight. Sorry, you cannot eat them till tomorrow.
Now that your pumpkin seeds are prepared, let's get to the particular cooking of them.
Here are both a microwave and range baked recipe for you to make a choice from.
Note: Preparation is the same for both of the following recipes.
Place salted butter in a Microwavable rectangular baking dish and heat for roughly 30 seconds.
Place seeds into pan and toss thru the melted butter. Spread the seeds out evenly into one
layer on the bottom of the dish. Microwave on high for approximately 8 minutes or till seeds are a light
golden color. Taking care to stir the seeds during a couple of minutes while in the microwave to halt burning.
The correct way to roast pumpkin seeds.
Preparing Pumpkin Seeds
Spray your seeds with butter spray. Cook for 1 hour at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Watch for them to be lightly brown. When you think they are done, take them out and season
with your favourite seasoning. Some popular seasonings include salt and garlic. Let them completely cool before enjoying.
Pumpkin seeds (pepitas) are not the sole seeds that may be eaten this way.
The seeds from butternut and acorn squish may also be cooked just like pumpkin seeds. Give them a try too.
Leftover Storage
You can store any remains of your pumpkin seeds in airtight containers
at 70 degrees for at least 3 months. If you opt to cool them,
they are going to last for roughly a year in an air tight container.
Baked pumpkin seeds provide a useful source of diet fiber along with a nutty flavor.
Therefore rather than popping that bag of popcorn tonight, grab your favourite Halloween motion picture,
relax with your toasted pumpkin seeds and enjoy.
