Pumpkin Seeds

I had to laugh when I found this picture of the "puking pumpkin"! It really is a rather clever display for Halloween night, if not a little "barfy"!
One of our favorite traditions of the season is roasting the seeds we find when we cut open the pumpkins. We have tried a few variations of the recipe over the years, but why mess with perfect?? We love them salty and crispy. Here's our simple, yet satisfying recipe for you to try:

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups raw whole pumpkin seeds (or however many you are lucky enough to find inside)
  • 2 teaspoons butter, melted
  • 1 pinch salt - or more to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  2. Toss seeds in a bowl with the melted butter and salt. Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown; stir occasionally.
The trick is to get them before everyone else does!! Enjoy!!
