Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 275 F with a rack in the center.

  2. Halve the squash, then extract and rinse the seeds to remove all stringy flesh.

  3. Spread the cleaned seeds on a towel and allow them to dry completely for 30 minutes to several hours.

  4. Toss the dry seeds with salt and butter, then arrange them in a single layer on a lined baking sheet.

  5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden, then agitate the pan to loosen and cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
