Recipe Introduction


"Don't throw out the seeds when making Jack-O-Lanterns or cooking fresh pumpkins, they make great snacks that are rich in fiber as well as vitamins B and E. Kids especially love them."



List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds
2 tsp. melted butter or oil (olive oil or vegetable oil work well)
salt to taste
Options To Taste:
garlic powder
cayenne pepper
seasoning salt
Cajun seasoning blend


Recipe



Preheat oven to 300° F. While it's fine to leave some strings and pulp on your seeds (it adds flavor), clean off any major chunks. Toss pumpkin seeds in a bowl with the melted butter or oil and seasonings of your choice.

Purist will want only salt as a seasoning, but if you're feeling adventurous, experiment and have fun with seasoning blends. Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes, until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
