Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

One of my favorite things about autumn is the seasonal, fresh produce that's only available at this time of year. From crisp apples to butternut squash, fall's fruits are full of flavor. But with everything that's available, pumpkin is without a doubt my overall favorite. I won't say no to anything pumpkin: pumpkin pie, lattes, pumpkin bread... it's endless! Pumpkin seeds are another one of my favorite seasonal snacks.
Here's a great idea on what you can do with those leftover pumpkin seeds you might have sitting on the counter from carving that amazing festive pumpkin! Try roasting them!


Here's what you'll need:
2 cups pumpkin seeds
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tsp of preferred spices

Instructions:
Remove the seeds from your pumpkin and wash them; Dry using paper some towels. Next, lay the seeds flat on a cookie sheet and allow seeds to dry overnight.
Mix the pumpkin seeds in bowl with some olive oil and your favorite seasonings, like sea salt, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg, chili powder and so on. Stir until completely combined. Next, pour the seasoned seeds onto that cookie sheet again and bake in a 250 degree oven for 60-90 minutes. Turn seeds every 15 minutes. Cook until your desired brown-ness. I like mine a little bit crispy! 
Enjoy! Xx
