- 1 1/2 cups raw cleaned whole pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
- 1 tablespoon bacon grease
- 3/4 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- salt to taste
- Place the pumpkin seeds in a container with a lid, and mix in the Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, bacon grease, and liquid smoke flavoring. Cover the container, and allow to stand overnight.
- Preheat the oven's broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
- Remove the seeds from the flavorings with a slotted spoon, and transfer into a bowl. Mix the cayenne pepper and garlic salt into the seeds, and stir to coat well. Spread the seeds over a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with additional salt.
- Roast the seeds under the broiler until toasted and golden brown, about 8 minutes; turn the seeds over twice during broiling. Cool to room temperature.
