"text": " To harvest seeds from butternut squash, scoop out the inside of the squash. Separate the seeds from the flesh as well as you can, then place the seeds in a bowl of water. Use your hands to swish the seeds around to loosen any remaining flesh or strings. The seeds will float, so you can remove them with a spoon or your fingers. Drain the seeds on a dry dish towel or a plate lined with paper towels; pat dry with paper towels. This recipe can be doubled or tripled depending on how many seeds you have.<\/p>"

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": " Roasted butternut squash seeds can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the freezer for about 3 months. Make sure they're cool and dry before storing. When you're ready to use them, thaw at room temperature. Then, you can crisp the seeds up again in the oven or an air fryer.
