pumpkin seeds

A reader emailed me the other day with a little Halloween reminder that I thought I would pass on here: don’t forget to save the pumpkin seeds. Of course, when carving pumpkins it can be easy to forget about the seeds, as the kids are generally very excited (and making a huge mess!) However, it’s very easy to separate the seeds from the pumpkin goop and bake them for a great anytime snack. Just spread the seeds evenly on a baking sheet, add salt for flavor, and bake them for approximately thirty minutes at 325. Once the seeds are dry, they are ready to go!

Pumpkin seeds are a lot healthier than regular Halloween candy, and in my opinion they taste a lot better too!
