Made these with half of our seeds this year (other half was a sweet batch. They were delicious! Very tasty with a nice amount of heat. If you are sensitive to heat (spicey then I would recommend 1/2 of the listed amount of red pepper flakes. But for us it was perfect just the way it is.
Notes:
I used 1Tb of butter and 2Tb of Veg Oil with the spice mix to help coat the seeds.
After 15min I cranked the heat to 425 and left them in for another 7min. They were perfectly crispy.

Recipe is bad. The seeds do not come out crispy and crunchy after 15 minutes.


Here's how you do it:
seeds from 1 large pumpkin
2T butter, melted
1t salt
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce (or paprika if you want spicy

mix all 3 into a bowl
add pumpkin seeds

Toss onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with more salt if you desire.
Bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes
Raise temperature to 375 for 10 minutes.

This is the 2nd year I have made these - and I took another persons suggestion and instead of the red/black pepper I used 1/4 tsp of chili powder and 1/4 tsp of smoked paprika. I also reduced the heat to 250 after the initial cooking time and left them until they were as crispy/crunchy as I liked them. These are the BEST!

Delicious! I love pumpkin seeds and this recipe had the extra kick I was looking for. They definitely have some heat to them, so if you aren't a fan of spicy foods I would tone it down a little on the crushed red pepper. Other than that they were fabulous!

Delicious snack. Here's a tip to prevent the seeds from tasting chewy as some reviewers have complained about: Roast them in a 300 degree oven for 10 minutes before you season them with oil and spices. This dries them out so that when you put the oil on them it doesn't soak into the wet seeds. I then roasted them as per the recipe states. Mine turned out crunchy and delicious. I used about 1/2 the amount of red pepper so they weren't super spicy. I can't wait to carve another pumpkin so I have an excuse to roast more seeds!

I'm rating this one as 'fair' because although the recipe was easy, if you really follow it to a tee, the seeds didn't come out crispy or crunchy, they were on the chewy side. I had to stir them and then put them back in the oven for another 10 minutes or so to get them to be a bit more crisp. You can tell when they are done when you hear them start to "pop". Other than that, the recipe taste was good, but I ended up preferring the seasoned salt/olive oil mixture that I regularly use better.

I was worried that the red pepper would make it too spicy, so I added a teaspoon of cajun seasoning. It was fantastic!!!! Even my 18 month old daughter loved them.
