what in the heck can I do with the pumpkin seeds?

wash them off, pat dry with paper towel, lay them on a pan, put butter and salt on them and bake them until crisp. they are really good. my dad used to make them for us when we were kids.

All of the answers of roasting is excellent. I do it every year myself by spreading them into a single layer on a baking pan, spritz them with butter spray and shake on some salt, and then baking for about 45 minutes in the oven until lightly brown.

If you're also a gardener type and have room in your yard, you can save a couple seeds to plant next spring. It's definitely a fun experience to grow your own pumpkins.

I love to roast them after soaking them in a waterbath with salt, but a lot of recipes don't call for soaking them. Here are a few links:

Once you've tried a batch, you might want to try adding different spices.

Get rid of the fibrous "guts" of the pumpkin; spread the seeds on a flat baking sheet, coat them lightly with oil (spray-on cooking oil works nicely) and toast them (about 325F until light brown). They make a very good snack - good in trail mix, too :-)

First, wash them thoroughly to get the meat off them. Then let them dry on either a paper towel or a paper plate. Once they're fully dry, you can either salt and eat them, or place them in an envelope and plant them like you would regular seeds in the spring.

I agree with the first two answers, but my "trick" to making them an awesome "treat" is to also add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce to the butter and salt before roasting. MMMM...MMMMM

wash them then put them in a skillet , brown seeds in a little butter over low heat, stirring constantly.
