So washed out the scraped out pumpkin seeds from preparing a recent veggie roast up, then left them on a tea towel to dry while I worked out what to do next, and promptly forget about them.
Husband finds them, decides to put them in a container while working out what to do next, and promptly forgets about them.
So I found them this morning. Going mouldy. One failed half-baked experiment!
Will spare you photos.
So for next time (thank you, Google) will be trying the following from http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=82
Preparing Pumpkin Seeds
Remove the seeds from the pumpkin's inner cavity and wipe them off with a paper towel if needed to remove excess pulp that may have stuck to them.
Spread them out evenly on a paper bag and let them dry out overnight.
Place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and light roast them in a 160-170ºF (about 75ºC) oven for 15-20 minutes. By roasting them for a short time at a low temperature you can help to preserve their healthy oils.
