Good taste, I used butternut squash seeds but way too oily that's why I dropped a star

I had a pumpkin I needed to use for another recipe so I decided to have a go at roasting the seeds but I hadn't done it since I was a child. So, I was happy to find this recipe and it was really easy to follow. My pumpkin wasn't very big so I also only used 2 tablespoons of oil and that worked fine. They were very tasty treats to nibble on at the computer today. Made for Holiday Tag.

Really easy and great results. The seeds are very tasty, better than any other pumpkin seeds I've ever had. I used parchment paper on the cookie sheet, got about 1 1/2 cups from one pumpkin, and used Xtra virgin olive oil and sea salt. For that amount of seeds, 2 tbsp oil is plenty. I was surprised when I heard a cracking, snapping sound and found out it was coming from the oven! I figured they were done then! Thanks very much for posting, Lorrie.
