Ingredients
Step 1
OPEN THE PUMPKIN. Cut the top off the pumpkin and scrape out all of the seeds and membrane.
Step 2
SQUEEZE THE GUTS. No, really, squeeze the pumpkin guts and the seeds will just pop out of the membrane!
Step 3
Rinse the seeds well under cold running water to remove any remaining pumpkin flesh.
Step 4
Soak your pumpkin seeds in cool, salted water for 2-3 hours.
Step 5
Dry the pumpkin seeds with a clean kitchen towel, then transfer them to a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat.
Step 6
Sprinkle seeds with a bit of salt if desired.
Step 7
Smoke the pumpkin seeds on your smoke setting (or 180f) for 20 minutes.
Step 8
Increase the temperature of the smoker to 325f and roast the pumpkin seeds for another 20 minutes, stirring once midway through. Remove and cool before enjoying or storing!
