Part 4/10:
Once the pumpkin is halved, the next step involves scooping out the seeds and removing most of the stringy flesh. It's perfectly fine if small amounts of pumpkin flesh cling to the seeds at this stage; they will be rinsed later. Kayla stresses the importance of thoroughly rinsing the seeds under water to detach any remaining pumpkin flesh. After rinsing, the seeds are spread onto a towel to dry for at least 24 hours, a crucial step to achieving that desired crunch in the final roasted seeds.
