Make Your Own Pumpkin Seeds - Marinated & Roasted

in OCD4 years ago (edited)

Hi there Fruits and Veggies Monday!

It's been "a minute" since i did a food post,
especially for Fruits and Veggies Monday.
Are @lenasveganliving and @plantstoplanks
still doing this?🙃
Greetings anyway, let's go.

So i did a pumpkin risotto last week,

and i refused to throw the good, protein
and testosterone rich seeds away.
But i really didn't know how to
prepare them...i never did it.
So i researched a bit and found a simple way
to marinate & roast them "home made" style.
It's a bit work though...

The Cleaning Part Is The Work

You really want to make sure that the seeds
are free of orange fiber rests of the pumpkin fruit.
When we roast them later, the seeds will be
able to take much more heat, and rests of the pumpkin fruit
would turn black in the oven.
So i put the seeds in warm water and then
cleaned them with tissue paper.

Then We Marinate The Pumpkin Seeds

This is where you can be creative.
The information in the internet told me
to take 2 big spoons of olive oil + herbs.
I choose Italian herbs, Salt & Pepper freshly
ground and the 2 big spoons of olive oil.
Classic Mediterranean Style😋.
I took dry, ready made herbs because i think
fresh herbs or fresh garlic e.g. would probably
turn black, too, in the oven by the time the
seeds are ready roasted.

Them We Put Them In The Pre Heated Oven

for appr. 30-40 Minutes ; Oven Temperature: appr. 180 degrees.
Turn them time by time...

And here we go:

My first marinated & roasted pumpkin seeds 😃

And they taste good!

Just eat the seeds like that as a snack or
put them on your next vegan plate, like
i put them on my plate with basmati rice,
beluga lentils and fresh salad and cucumber.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Hey, as we're trying to help grow a diverse set of niche communities so readers can get a better community trending page as mentioned in The OCD community.

It would be better if you post your recipe or food related content in Foodies Bee Hive

For a list of the communities we're curating right now please check OCD Communities Incubation Program - Update #7. You are welcome to cross-post your posts from that community onto OCD with the peakd.com feature to get more visibility and engagement from the OCD subscribers.

Ok, will do like that in the future...until not too long ago it was ok to post food posts in OCD.
And like you probably saw already i did use "foodiesbeehive" and "vegan" etc...
It's just which hashtag you use first.
Y'all can actually upvote my whole weeks content...y'all missed some posts ;)

Yes it was OK but as I mentioned above foodies bee hive is one of the community which OCD is supporting and you can see the list from the link I mentioned in my previous post.
