Working time: 5 minutes
Rest time: approx. 12 hours
Baking time: 25 minutes
Remove the pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin with a tablespoon and soak them in salted water overnight.

Then pour off the water and let the kernels dry for a few hours.
Spread the pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet, spread olive oil over them and roast them in the oven at 200 ° C top / bottom heat for about 20-25 minutes.
Turn several times so that they brown evenly.
Do not let them get too dry or they will lose their taste.
Then let it cool down and eat the roasted pumpkin seeds with or without the shell as desired.
For a
spicy variant
, you can flavor the olive oil beforehand with garlic, chilli powder, curry or other spices.
Store the roasted pumpkin seeds in a sealable can.
Happy snacking!
