Seeds, Seeds, Everywhere.

Halloween is coming and that means pumpkin carving. What should you do with the inside of the pumpkin? Well don't let the seeds go to waste this year --try roasting them.

What you need to make great pumpkin seeds.
1. An oven 2. A baking sheet 3. Melted Butter 4. Seeds 5. Salt 6. Seasoning (optional)
Here is how to do it.1. Do a mediocre job of separating the goo and guts from the actual seeds. Don’t rinse them or they won’t taste as good. 2. Add salt to the seeds. I suggest 1 teaspoon for every 2 cups of seeds.3. Add the melted butter. I use 1 tablespoon. 4. Mix the salt (and/or seasonings), melted butter and seeds and then spread them on the baking sheet.5. Roast them at 300 degrees for about 30 minutes. Stir them halfway through. 6. Take them out and eat them.
Pumpkin Seed Seasoning Ideas:
Sweet and Spicy: quarter cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and half teaspoon cayenne pepper.
Curry: 1 tablespoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon salt
Spicy Garlic: 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, half teaspoon cayenne pepper
Southwest: 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, half teaspoon cayenne pepper

Go on give it a try. It is a great snack.
