Best 2 Drunken Pumpkin Seeds Recipes

DRUNKEN PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Stir pumpkin seeds, whiskey, bacon drippings, brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until the seeds begin to turn gray in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes; drain.
• Spread the drained seeds onto a baking sheet in a single layer; season with salt.
• Roast the pumpkin seeds in preheated oven until crisp and golden brown, 60 to 90 minutes.

CRISPY, CRUNCHY PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Separate seeds from pulp and rinse under warm water. Pick out remaining pulp. Shake off excess water, place on a towel, and roll up. Let dry in a warm location for 2 to 3 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or foil.
• Mix dry pumpkin seeds and melted butter together in a bowl. Sprinkle on garlic salt, onion salt, and paprika. Spread on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and crisp, stirring halfway through, about 45 minutes. Let cool and store in an airtight container, but they taste amazing warm, too.
