Over the weekend, we got to carving our Jack-o-Lanterns! Albin is a pro with the carving and especially cleaning of pumpkin gunk! We made sure to keep the seeds aside for roasting. Aren't they just the coziest, tastiest Fall snack?
There are a million ways to make them, and I decided to make ours a little spicy this year..
I used course sea salt, cayenne pepper, a bit of garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
So tasty! They made a great munch while I finished frosting those Spooktacular cupcakes!

Preheat oven to 250°F
Wash and dry pumpkin seeds!
Toss pumpkin seeds with a bit of extra virgin olive oil, and your favorite spices.
Spread out seeds in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Turn seeds every ten minutes or so until golden brown... 30-45 minutes.
Let cool and serve!
Next time I'll try a little brown sugar and cinnamon.. Do you have a favorite variety?

It's just not fall without roasted pumpkin seeds. Yours look fantastic! Keep the flesh too and make pumpkin puree which makes some crazy good pasta.
