Five stars, Tish, for this simple but perfect way to prepare those squash seeds I had been throwing out. These took about 45 minutes in my 300* oven to toast to a crunchy perfection. I used a white cheddar popcorn flavoring for the seasoning, could not stop eating these. Um, thanks.

This is an excellent recipe! I recently discovered an EASY and FAST way to clean the pumpkin seeds (which is the worst part of making pumpkin seeds). Place the seeds in water and stir with your hands to clean them; all of the clean seeds will float to the top while the pumpkin strings and flesh sink to the bottom. Use a slotted spoon to remove the seeds from the water!

I have tried baking pumpkin seeds several different ways but had never boiled them first — it makes a big difference that my whole family liked. Thanks!
