One thought on “Roasted Pumpkin Seeds”
Thank you for the idea and recipe. We tried drying them overnight on a paper towel as suggested. Unfortunately, they all stuck to the paper towel and it was a lot of work to separate them and scrape any paper towel residue. We also noticed that black spots developed on some of the seeds. Otherwise, they turned out great and are delicious.
