Go low and slow. Seeds will change color once they have dried out.

It took about 2.25 hours.....................They are tastey!!

I soak the seeds overnight in a brine solution (salt). Then I add the other goodied and roast. That way the salt gets into the seeds instead of just on them.

Damn you!... and well Rookie, guess I'll be carving a pumpkin soon so I can make some tonight.!

I'll have to try that recipe. We always toasted them on a pan at 400 for 10-15 min. then salted. Always tasted like s***, but everyone pretended they came out good. Thanks for the idea!

Is it kind of like camping out and cooking on the fire..., where everybody acts like that piece of venison they just ate was the best meat they ever had...., when really it was a little too charred, rank and had the consistency of shoe leather. Then later on you start to figure out why the guy that brought it was so eager to share..., that same kind of good?

I make mine without the butter. I add old bay seasoning to the salt and leave the seeds in the brine. Then I bake them until the water evaporates and the seeds turn that golden brown color. Crispy and tasty!

Followed nat's post, except added a little franks red hot sauce to the butter, melted then added. Cooked for the first hr, mixing as needed. Then added some taco seasoning. Stirred, let bake for another 1 hr. Done and the bomb.

I can't cook worth chit, but the is going to buy another pumpkin... to carve... and to make more.
