Ingredients
1-2 Tbs. sea salt
enough water for soaking
2 C. pumpkin seeds
cooking spray
Directions
While carving your pumpkin, collect the seeds in a separate bowl or colander. Try to remove as much of the stringy pumpkin goop from them as possible.
Place seeds in strainer or colander and rinse of all excess pumpkin goop. Salt the bottom of a small bowl. Pour in some pumpkin seeds. Top with more salt. Continue to layer pumpkin seeds and salt. Fill bowl to top with water and let seeds soak overnight.
