"My kids love these pumpkin seeds and want them every fall. A little bit of pulp in the mix really adds to the flavor, so don't rinse the seeds." - Gwyn Reiber, Spokane, Washington

Haven't made these yet, but wondering how long will they be good if stored properly. Thinking of making a large batch ahead of time for a party!

sounds great but I didn't hear anyones concern about the cayanne pepper in a kids snack. I dont use that pepper too much. could it be left out and still have good flavor?

I make this every Halloween now. It is the best roasted pumpkin seed recipe I've had! The Worcestershire sauce makes the recipe and I wouldn't leave it out. I think I made 5-6 batches last year and couldn't keep up with demand.

Great recipe, good for trail mixes. My bunnies loved them but when cooking for bunnies toast plain, no butter, etc. as bunnies are vegetarians!

Yes, you eat the shells also. They are thin and provide fiber. I didn't know you could leave some of the pulp! I'm excited to make this soon!

Try using a tablespoon of bacon ranch dressing instead of butter....pretty good!

Mistydragon, the pumpkin seeds do not have shells...you eat the entire seed as it is when it comes out of the pumpkin. Great receipe!

@mistydragon, yes you can eat the shells. Just make sure the seeds are completely crunchy and they are easier to eat....love love love pumpkin seeds, can't wait to make this tonight! This can also be done with squash seeds.
