Toasted Pumpkin Seeds


Don't forget to save your pumpkin seeds after you carve your jack-o-lantern!  They're delicious toasted, and make a great little snack.
Happy Halloween!

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

~ After carving your pumpkin, lay the seeds in a skillet to dry. Don't worry about washing the pumpkin off the seeds, leave it on to dry for more pumpkin flavor.


~ Let seeds dry for several hours, or overnight.

~ Place 2 tablespoons of butter in skillet with dried seeds, and toast over medium heat until nicely browned, stirring frequently.  This does not take long, about 5 - 10 minutes.

~ Season to taste with sea salt.  And if you like your pumpkin seeds spicy hot, add a little cayenne pepper.
