Recipe for Roast Pumpkin Seeds

In response to requests for the recipe, Jane (resident chef at Dark Creek) sent along this recipe for those delicious pumpkin seeds. Here it is:

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Preheat oven to 350 F/175 C
Remove pumpkin seeds from pumpkin innards--get them as clean as possible.
Now rinse them in a colander and drain -- you can also blot them in a clean dishtowel if you don't have time to drain them completely.
Toss seeds with extra virgin olive oil to coat (be careful here--you don't want them to be sodden with oil).
Spread seeds on baking sheet, sprinkle with sea salt.
Roast 20-30 minutes or until a rich gold in colour--this intensifies the nutty flavour.
IMPORTANT: As soon as you take the seeds from the oven, loosen them from the pan with a spatula or similar tool--they can stick despite the olive oil.
Let cool slightly and enjoy.
Note: addictive.
