"I made Miss Annies recipe #48436 and had the seeds left over so I couldn't throw them out. You can use pumpkin! I like the taste of the seeds without prewashing and drying them.(One less step)."

  1. I made a a stuffed pumpkin tonight and staring at the pile of seeds I said "I wonder if recipezaar has a pumpkin seed recipe..." This one caught my eye and lucky it did because it was great! I actually melted the butter and spices in a bowl, stirred in the seeds and spread them out on a cookie sheet. Couldn't be easier!
     
  2. I also used just one butternut squash (which I made a casserole out of) but I had about 1 cup of seeds. I still adjusted the seasonings to account for 1 squash and we really enjoyed the results! I like squash seeds better than pumpkin, and I always LOVED pumpkin seeds! Thanks Rita, great recipe!
     
  3. Really good! Next time I think I'll mix the spices and melted butter together with the seeds in a bowl like another reviewer suggested. The spices were great, but didn't get disbursed evenly mixing everything together on the baking sheet.
     
  4. I made this recipe with the seeds of one medium butternut squash. loved the texture of these seeds. I melted the butter first, added the seeds & tossed then added the spices and salt then tossed again. I lightly sprayed the cookie sheet I used with avacado oil for extra assurance they wouldn't stick to anything. I put my oven at 350F then turned it down to 300F after the first minute. I moved them around at the 16 minute point (including the minute at 350F) then left them in for another 15 minutes. I liked the flavor but it was too salty for my taste. I will try halving the salt the next time I make these.
     
  5. These seeds are amazing!! I cooked acorn squash seeds instead of pumpkin seeds. Because the acorn seeds are so much smaller, I only cooked them for 20 mn and they came out perfectly. LOVE this recipe
