I simply do the following:
1. Rinse the seeds thoroughly.
2. Spread them out on an aluminum foil covered cookie sheet
3. Sprinkle lightly with salt
4. Bake in 300 degree oven until golden brown. This can take 10 to 20 minutes depending on the oven. I start checking after about 8 minutes just to make sure they don't burn (too much). I actually prefer them quite crispy - which means dark brown around the edges. I used to coat lightly in oil or use PAM or someother spray, but have found that that doesn't really improve the test - so why not keep it simpler and healthier? You can also try frying them in a fry pan with some Soy Sauce - very yummy.

No, pumpkin seeds and flax seeds are different types of seeds that have some similarities but also some significant differences. Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are the seeds of a pumpkin or other types of squash. They are a good source of nutrients such as protein, fiber, iron, zinc, and antioxidants. Pumpkin seeds are often used as a snack or added to recipes for added flavor and crunch. Flax seeds, also known as linseeds, are small, nutty-tasting seeds that come from the flax plant. Like pumpkin seeds, flax seeds are a good source of nutrients such as fiber, protein, and antioxidants. They are also a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), which is a type of polyunsaturated fat that is thought to have several health benefits. Flax seeds can be eaten whole or ground and are often added to recipes for added nutrition. While pumpkin seeds and flax seeds both offer some health benefits, they are not the same and do not have the same nutritional profile. It is generally recommended to include a variety of different types of seeds in your diet to take advantage of the different nutrients that they offer.
Anise seeds are a good substitute for fennel seeds in some recipes.
