Did you carve Halloween pumpkins this year? I couldn’t wait to dig into ours so I could start roasting the seeds.
As usual, Leila stuck her hand right in the goop while Joe was a bit hesitant. We had fun scooping out the guts, and the kids did a great job separating out the seeds.
I usually do a sweet and spicy blend with roasted seeds, but I wanted to try something different this time. I ended up going with olive oil, apple pie spice and salt. After 15 minutes in a 400-degree oven, we had a batch of crispy mouthwatering seeds, ready to devour. The spice combo turned out to be nice with a hint of apple pie and a salty crunch.
If you have trouble getting your seeds crunchy enough, try roasting them at 400 degrees for 15 minutes (don’t shake them, leave the oven door closed).
