| OK, this is an ignorant question but asked in complete seriousness--when eating roasted pumpkin seeds, does one eat the whole seed or crack it open and eat the stuff inside. I have a bet riding on this one! Thank-you. |

| we've been eating the whole thing because it's not that hard of a shell. delicious! |

| You can do either but we eat the shell. (They gave my toddler really hard poop with some blood...FYI.) |

| we mix them with a little olive oil and salt and then roast them in a 250 oven for ~30 minutes. interested to hear what others do. |

| roast the whole seeds w/ oil and kosher salt. I think it was 350 for 20 minutes or so. One of my cookbooks had instructions or I googled it. |

we used butter and salt. that's probably why it tasted so good.
after roasting, the seeds were not that tough or hard at all. |

| I boiled mine in salt water and then roasted them in a little olive oil. Really good. |

I eat them whole
I toss them with olive oil, salt, and a dash of cayenne pepper |

| They're really yummy but beware, even without the butter or olive oil they have a ton of calories! |

Yeah, but it's only once a year and the amount from one pumpkin is pretty small. Might as well enjoy it. |

| I washed and dried mine out over night - then since it was already on a cookie sheet and I was lazy that day - I sprinkled salt and garlic powder, and pam on it and baked for 20 minutes or so - they were good but next time I hopefully wont be so lazy as I am sure the other recipes were much more tasty. |

Holy Shit! I didn't believe you and googled it. At least it is mostly good fats and a lot of protein!
