I must admit I was skeptical about making pumpkin seeds in the microwave. But I shouldn't have been because they came out delicious! In my opinion they are way better than oven baked. So light and crunchy. Thanks for the recipe, I'll be using this one again.

Such an easy recipe. My co-workers couldn't keep their hands off of them. Would make it again for sure.

Never tried it in a micro...Instead of seasoned salt, I used Cajun seasonings...we like it with a "kick"! Came out GREAT! Thanks!!
