      These are delicious. A sweet pumpkin yielded 1/2 a cup seeds in all. I am giving this 4 stars rather than 5 because both times I have tried this recipe the seeds burnt slightly at about half the amount of time. I did dry mine very well. I feel 400F is too high. Maybe my oven runs higher..?!! The olive oil was giving off a burning smell. I used a good quality unrefined extra virgin olive oil (maybe because it was virgin, I think that is what I used both times, but previously using a refined version!) I sprinkled on a little sea salt. DD (toddler) loves them, she likes all kinds of seeds a lot. I will try this again at a lower temperature or with way more seeds.

      I made these tonight after carving our pumpkins. I have never boiled the pumpkin seeds before toasting them until now. They turned out crunchy and very tasty. I used half the salt when I boiled the seeds (trying to reduce sodium) and added some chili seasoning for flavour when I toasted them. I also used my stone bakesheet when I toasted them. I'm not sure if that made them any crispier than a cookie sheet would, though.

      I made these yesterday after helping my 2 year old carve her first jack-o-lantern ;-). The directions were easy to follow and they definitely came out nice and crunchy. Too bad her small pumpkin only had about 1/2 cup seeds in it to begin with, because I've eaten almost all of them already and still want more. I'll gladly be saving this method to use again in the future. Thank you so much for posting!

      I got 2 cups of seeds out of a medium pumpkin. I only used 2 cups of water to simmer them in (instead of the suggested 8 cups which seemed like far too much). Worked fine. They never got that brown even after 40 minutes, probably because I didn't dry them. Very delicious and crispy.

      Kittencal, loved these. Have been making these for years with different recipe, I just threw it out! This was a great way to cook them, and much easier and better. The addition of olive oil was something I had never done and made all the difference. Thanx for great recipe addition.

      Made these after I carved pumpkins a few days before Halloween and they turned out very well. I did add salt before and after baking the seeds, but other than that, I made no alterations. They were easy and tasty! Thank you!

      I just made these last night, and really had fun! My DH and I carved our own pumpkins, his looked like a smart-alec with an evil grin..and mine looked like a chubby girl with a big nose and a big mouth~!(hey, you don't suppose that means something,do you?!) The seeds were delcious and crunchy. I used garlic salt instead of the regular. Thanks! Hazeleyes

      This is an awesome recipe! I baked the seeds for 30 minutes on 2 greased cookie sheets. We did 2 small pumpkins and 2 medium. So had a lot of seeds! Family can't get enough of these seeds done this way. To anyone who is hesitant about this - DO IT - you won't do seeds anyother way!
