Ingredients

1

small (6 lb) fresh-well-ripened pumpkin

Nonstick cooking spray

1/2

teaspoon salt

Preparation

Heat oven to 350°F. Cut pumpkin in half. Remove the membrane and seeds. Remove most of the pulp from the seeds (leave some pulp on - it adds to the flavor; for the same reason, do not rinse the seeds).

Spread seeds in a shallow, jelly roll pan with sides, 15x10x 1 1/2 inches. Spray seeds with cooking spray; sprinkle with salt.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until browned; cool.
