Cheesy Pumpkin Seeds

Food & Fun - By The Rachael Ray Staff on
Ingredients
  • 1 cup cleaned raw whole pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons grated cheese (parmesan or Pecorino-Romano)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch of cayenne
Preparation

Preheat oven to 375F. In a small saucepan, bring 4 cups water, pumpkin seeds and 1 tablespoon salt to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes, then drain. Pat the seeds dry between layers of paper towels.

Toss the seeds with the EVOO and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Spread in a single layer on a greased foil-lined baking sheet. Roast until golden, 10-12 minutes.

Combine seasoning blends for your favorite flavored seeds in a small bowl and toss to coat pumpkin seeds. Roast for 5 minutes more.
