DIY- Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

I LOVE Fall and I love that my husband and I just carved pumpkins with our oldest two daughters for the first time especially since that means I get to roast the seeds- yum!

It is easy to do and they are delicious.  My 5 year old helped and had a blast making our afternoon snack.

  1. Take the seeds from a pumpkin and rinse them with water to remove most of the orange slime. Leave them on a cookie sheet over night to allow them to dry out.
  2. Melt 2 TBS of butter in a bowl and add a pinch salt.  Then toss in the seeds from 1-2 pumpkins and stir to coat them.
  3. Lay them out on a cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 35-45 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes.
  4. They are finished when they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. After baking you can also add a pinch of sugar or cinnamon sugar to make these a sweet treat.  Or try them with garlic salt for another flavor.

Enjoy them while they last because, in my house, they disappear fast!
