I roast and eat the seeds of any winter squash I eat and, so far, I haven't

found a bad seed yet. I cook them all the same way (cleaned, brushed with

oil, spread evenly on a cookie sheet, baked at 350F (about 175C) for about

ten minutes - until browned) but I keep a closer eye on the smaller seeds

because they will burn more quickly than the larger ones.

 

I don't remember if I've specifically had banana squash before or not. The

time investment for roasting the seeds is so small, though, that you might

as well go ahead and roast them just to see if you like them. To the best

of my knowledge, no squash seeds are hazardous to eat, but I've noticed

that each variety of squash has it's own special flavor and texture to the

roasted seeds.
