Here are a few basics - I would conceder these as a starting point.
Basically do about what ever you want ...
:-)
Dimitri
2 c. pumpkin seeds
1/4 c. lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
3/4 tbsp. salt
Dilute the salt with the lemon juice; then, mix in the pumpkin seeds. Keep
mixing together until all seeds are very wet and soaked. Place seeds in a
glass bowl and put in the microwave on very high temperature for 4 minutes.
Take out and stir them very well and place back in the microwave for another
2 minutes. Keep repeating for 2 minutes at a time, stirring in between
until they are roasted (golden brown). Enjoy.
2 c. washed seeds
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tbsp. melted butter
Mix above ingredients with seeds. Spread on cookie sheet with sides and
bake 1 hour at 250 degrees stirring every 15 minutes.
2 c. unwashed pumpkin seeds
1 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tbsp. melted butter or margarine
1 1/4 tsp. seasoning salt
1. In bowl combine seeds, Worcestershire sauce, butter and salt, until
seeds are coated. 2. Spread on large shallow baking pan. 3. Bake at 250
degrees approximately 1 hour, stirring occasionally until crisp, dry and
golden brown.
One more method
Boil seeds 5 to 10 minutes in 1 tablespoon salt per quart of water. Bake
on a cookie sheet in 250 degree oven for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. You
may sprinkle a little more salt on seeds a few minutes before the hour is
up.
MMMMM Onion and Garlic

1 1/4 tsp. salt
Dash onion salt
Dash garlic salt
Spread seeds in shallow pan. Add other ingredients. Toast in very slow
oven, 250 degrees, until brown and crisp, stirring occasionally. Bake 2 1/2
hours.
