Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

By junerodgers

Whatever you do, don’t throw away the pumpkin seeds leftover from carving Halloween pumpkins! Roasted pumpkin seeds are a delicious and nutritious Halloween treat, and they’ll stay fresh for a couple weeks in a tightly sealed container or bag. Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients

• Pumpkin seeds
• Drizzle of oil
• Salt
• Garlic Salt

Preparation

Step 1

Separate pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin pulp and place in colander. Rinse with water, and sift through with your hands to wash away any remaining pulp. After rinsing, place seeds on paper towels to dry. When seeds are dry, place them on a cookie sheet, and toss with a drizzle of olive or canola oil. Add in any seasonings you like such as salt, garlic salt, Old Bay seasoning, etc.

Bake seeds in a 350 degree oven, stirring every few minutes, until golden brown.
