Pepitas

[ndrosen]

Back on Saturday, I removed several bags of acorn squash seeds from my freezer — I save the seeds when cooking the flesh of the squash — and roasted them in the oven with a little salt. Now, when I’m hungry and dinner will take a while, I can munch on a few high-protein pepitas to take the edge off my stomach’s complaints.

I've tried roasting pumpkin seeds. Never happy with the results. Is there some trick? Enough salt maybe?

I don’t have any special trick, and you might find my pepitas unsatisfactory as excessively charred. But they’re good enough for me.
