ROASTED SQUASH SEEDS (WITH VARIATIONS) RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Gather seeds from squash, separating them from the stringy flesh, and place them in a colander . Rinse the seeds thoroughly in a colander and pick away any excess squash flesh still clinging to the seeds.
• Once clean, spread the seeds out in an even layer on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and allow them to dry. Seeds can be patted dry, but they roast much better when they are completely dry.

The seeds can be allowed to dry for 30 minutes to several hours before you go on to the roasting step.
