My dentist's Baked Pumpkin Seeds

• seeds from a large pumpkin
• sea salt

Scoop out your pumpkin. Place seeds ( some membrane will get in) in  salted boiling water. Boil for 12 minutesand drain. The  membrane should be easy to clean from seeds  now. Place seeds only on foil lined cookie sheet  and bake at 400  degrees for  a few minutes until browned slightly. Do not leave oven and do not broil! Cool and eat.
