In efforts to keep my spirits up I decided to create a yummy and healthy snack with our leftover pumpkin seeds.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil, then spray with non-stick spray. This recipe is for about 2 cups of seeds that have been rinsed and dried for 24 hours.
Place the seeds in a large bowl and add either 2 tsp of unsalted butter or extra virgin olive oil. Mix well. Next add 2 tsp of kosher salt. I added cayenne pepper, paprika and a touch of cumin. Mix well and pour into the sheet pan evenly. Roast for 45 minutes, stirring about half way through to ensure the seeds are toasted evenly.
Enjoy!
Do you roast your leftover seeds? What’s your favorite fall snack?
Thanks so much for all the love and support. Y’all rock!!

This sounds tasty. I have only roasted pumpkin seeds once. It was years ago and I burnt them. I will have to give it another try.

My kindergarten teacher baked pumpkin seeds one cool fall morning with pumpkin cookies and they were the best thing I had ever eaten! I have yet to be able to recreate those seeds.
