I never have either. I never even heard of soaking your seeds. I just wash mine off, melt a couple tsp butter, mix that into the seeds,sprinkle well with garlic powder. Spread them on the cookie sheet and bake. Mine are usually a lot browner and crisper looking.Yummy!
Maybe this is a really stupid question, but it never seems to be covered anywhere. After the process is over and the seeds are ready to eat, do you crack the outer shell off and just eat what's inside, or do you eat the whole thing? Are they like sunflower seeds or peanuts where the outer bit is too fibrous for most people?
Jimmy-if I air dry them, I like to peel them and just eat the inside. It's really kind of a pain because they don't pop open like sunflower seeds do.
When they're roasted in the oven like this it makes the outer shell kind of light and crispy and I just eat the whole thing, shell and all. Much easier. Hope that answers your question. :)
I've never made mine like this but they sound delish!

ReplyDeleteOh crud, I just remembered that I left mine soaking in a bowl in the fridge from a couple days ago. Think they'd still be good?
ReplyDeleteI haven't soaked them either - but will have to try.
