Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

When making my pumpkin puree, I kept thinking about the flavors I would use to season the pumpkin seeds. I knew I wanted more than just the traditional salt and I also knew I wanted some spice. It is really important to note that these are kid tested and approved 😀 wohoo!

Here is what I came up with…

Ingredients:

Seeds of one medium sized pumpkin

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Clean pumpkin seeds.

2.Blanch in boiling water for 3 minutes.

3. Strain pumpkin seeds and then pat dry. Add in spices, olive oil and Worcestershire sauce.

4. Arrange on baking sheet and place in oven.

5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until seeds are crisp.

6. Enjoy!

*These are great on salads and soups. The shells become crunchy and can be eaten with the inside seed!
