Roasted Tamari Pumpkin Seeds

Roasted Tamari Pumpkin Seeds

Admittedly, pumpkins are a bit of a nuisance to clean. The seeds must be separated from the goo, and paring the skin from the flesh is a task I would hand over to my sous chef if I had one. But it is not a thankless task. Oh, not at all. There is no finer treat perhaps than homemade roasted pumpkin seeds. This recipe is a variation on my standard recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds. I soaked the seeds with some tamari and sea salt and sprinkled them with some cayenne before roasting. Warning: these are addictive.

Double, triple or even quadruple the recipe if you have more seeds on hand.

  • Drain the water from the seeds, spread them evenly on a ungreased baking sheet, sprinkle with cayenne, and bake in a 350°F oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until the seeds are dry and puffy. Stir the seeds frequently, once every 10 minutes or so.

Wow, these look so yummy! Thanks for the nice recipe. I usually make a spicy powder out of these!

Uma, I love the idea of making this into a spice powder. I will try this.

I made them as well, just with coarse sea salt and they were great. I couldn't stop eating them. The addition of cayenne sounds great.

I haven't tried savoury pumpkin seeds before, but I can tell that these would soon become addictive and I would eat way too many whilst sipping wine.
