Ingredients

  • 2 C. pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 C. lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
  • 3/4 Tbs. salt

Directions

Dilute the salt with the lemon juice; then, mix in the pumpkin seeds. Keep mixing together until all seeds are very wet and soaked. Place seeds in a glass bowl and put in the microwave on very high temperature for 4 minutes. Take out and stir them very well and place back in the microwave for another 2 minutes.


Keep repeating for 2 minutes at a time, stirring in between until they are roasted (golden brown).

  • This is the best recipe I have seen for roasting Pumpkin seeds. Why waste all that electricity by putting them in a hot oven all that time? I put mine on a paper towel and microwave them and the come out great. I don't remember the exact time, but do it in short intervals, cause they can burn quickly in a microwave as well as the oven. I have been doing any squash seed that is husky like Pumpkin, Acorn or Butternut since I first got a microwave and they are fantastic.
