Removing the sesame seeds will alter the flavor and texture, but if you were really set on making the recipe without them, I would recommend substituting sesame oil for the olive oil to retain some of that nutty flavor.

This is a pretty good recipe and especially after the Halloween, we can get the seeds and turn them into a more edible snack. I usually just cook them in salt and dry them. For this recipe I will be removing the sesame seeds, doe it affect the flavor when removed?

These sound awesome! I’ve never thought about adding sesame seeds to pumpkin seeds but I don’t think you can go wrong with that combination! I hope that you have power back on soon and that you’re doing well!

[...] Bittersweet‘s Sriracha Pumpkin Seeds are a spicy treat to enjoy when you get tired of indulging in chocolates and other sweet Halloween treats – and you can use the seeds leftover from carving jack o’lanterns to make a batch! The raw pumpkin seeds are tossed with black and white sesame seeds, sriracha, olive oil and salt before being baked until they’re toasty. You can adjust the heat level by adding a bit more or a bit less of the sriracha to make sure that the seeds suit your tastes, too. [...]

Nope, unfortunately, no power at home and probably not for the rest of the week. Love your idea about using the microwave to cook the pumpkin seeds though… It’s so smart and simple! As soon as ours will turn on again, I’ll have to try it out.

We actually get paid when our power goes out for more than a day! How is that? We got a check for $80 not so long back from the electricity company because a storm blew a power line down and they left our little hamlet on the hill till last (less people to pay ;) ). I am so glad that you guys are all ok! We followed old frankenstorm all the way over here and it was the top story on OUR news so it must have been a doozie! Nothing like camping in your own home to make you feel like a kid again ;). Enjoy the processes :)
