Pumpkin Seeds

Fall is my absolute favorite season and Halloween is my favorite holiday. Tonight we had a blast pulling out the pumpkin "brains" and carving/decorating our treasured pumpkins. Now my pumpkin seeds are toasting in the oven and smell delicious! Here's my favorite recipe along with some other options. 




Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  2. Rinse seeds.
  3. Toss seeds in a bowl with 1-2T oil or melted butter and a pinch of sea salt. 
  4. Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown; stir occasionally.
Before cooking, you can also mix in a bit of any combination of the following for a fun treat:
  • brown sugar
  • cinnamon
  • taco seasoning 
  • hot pepper powder or cayenne pepper
  • garlic salt or powder
  • onion salts or powder
  • cacoa powder
  • ginger
  • pumpkin pie spice
  • worcestershire 

How do you like your pumpkin seeds?
