Roasting Pumpkin Seeds!

A popular sugar-free snack can be made by roasting pumpkin seeds.  The boys had a great time scooping these out and were anxious to know what they would taste like once we seasoned & cooked them (and they were delicious).

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
  • Separate the seeds of one pumpkin from the flesh and ‘strings’
  • In a large bowl of water, wash them well, rubbing them between your hands.
  • Spread on paper towels to dry
  • Preheat oven to 325F
  • Spread dry seeds on a cookie sheet and lightly brush them with 4 Tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
  • Sprinkle with a mixture of 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of allspice
  • Bake in oven for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown
  • Let cool before eating
