Don’t Throw Away Those Pumpkin Seeds!
Are you preparing a Pumpkin Pie for the Holidays, or just carving a few Jack-o-Lanterns for Halloween? If so, save the Pumpkin seeds.
Pumpkin seeds are highly nutritious and delicious & easy to prepare.
Follow these instructions for an easy snack your Family will surely love.
After cleaning out the meat from the Pumpkin, separate seeds from the left over stringy flesh, wash and clean thoroughly, set aside on a paper towel and let completely dry, this may take at least a full day.
Spread seeds in a single layer on a lightly greased cookie sheet and roast on bottom oven rack @ 400 for about 25 minutes or so, until seeds start to crack and turn a golden brown.
Lightly salt and let cool.
Seeds will open easily and they have that great taste everyone will enjoy.
Be creative and add other spices such as Cinnamon, Apple Pie spice, Neo Masala or Curry, or create your own combination. Seeds will stay fresh for up to one month.
Store in a closed container in a dark place.
Enjoy!
