I have a pumpkin from a pumpkin patch. Any good recipes on pumpkin pie and roasting the seeds. ?We Answered:
Regular pumpkins, the kind you carve for Halloween, are not good for pies...there is a special type thats used for pie....I would imagine the seeds need to be washed well, dried and then baked at a low temp until done..but I wouldn't know for sure.Charlotte Said:

Pumpkin Seeds Recipe?We Answered:
Toasted Pumpkin Seeds RecipeOne medium sized pumpkin
Salt
Olive oil
1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut open the pumpkin and use a strong metal spoon to scoop out the insides. Separate the seeds from the stringy core. Rinse the seeds.
2 In a small saucepan, add the seeds to water, about 2 cups of water to every half cup of seeds. Add a tablespoon of salt for every cup of water. Bring to a boil. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and drain.
3 Spread about a tablespoon of olive oil over the bottom of a roasting pan. Spread the seeds out over the roasting pan, all in one layer. Bake on the top rack for 20 minutes or until the seeds begin to brown. When browned to your satisfaction, remove from the oven and let the pan cool on a rack. Let the seeds cool all the way down before eating. Either crack to remove the inner seed (a lot of work and in my opinion, unnecessary) or eat whole.
