Pumpkin Seeds - Savory Ranch Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh pumpkin seeds, rinsed and dried (See Cook's Tip)
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon ranch dressing seasoning mix

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a small bowl, toss pumpkin seeds with olive oil.
3. Sprinkle with seasoning mix. Toss to evenly distribute seasoning.
4. Spread seeds in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, until toasted to your liking.
6. Cook's Tip:
7. Remove as much moisture as possible from the seeds. Spread them on a clean, lint-free towel or a double layer of paper towels and pat dry. Or, place them in a double layer of paper grocery bags with a few paper towels, fold the top closed, and shake to dry.
