Roasted pumpkin seed recipes

I am making these tonight.  We had a youth activity with pumpkins and I have pumpkin seeds left from about 6 pumpkins, so I thought I would experiment.

First: wash your pumpkin seeds with water in a strainer and and lay them out on a pillow case. (this is less sticky than a towel) Let them dry overnight

Set your oven to 275 degrees
directions for all pumpkin seeds: roast for 30 min and stir. Roast for another 30 min, take them out and place them on a paper or serving plate to cool. (if using butter they will come out a little brown, but that is ok)

cover your pumpkin seeds in a little olive oil.

stir and put in oven

Melt 1/2 stick of real butter or 4 tbls in a pot on stove or microwave in 45 sec increments.
