THE RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/2 cups fresh pumpkin seeds
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
DIRECTIONS
Yield: 3 (1/2 cup) servings
- Preheat oven 350 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Scrape out pumpkin pulp and seeds and place in a bowl. You can separate the seeds from the pulp by pulling the seeds out of the pulp with your hands. Discard the pulp and keep the seeds.
- Rinse seeds in a colander, removing any extra pulp.
- Pat dry seeds to remove extra moisture. The less moisture on the seeds the crunchier they will be.
- In a medium size bowl add seeds, oil, garlic powder, cayenne, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper and salt.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Spread mixture on the baking sheet, making sure to have a single layer. If the seeds are in clumps they will not fully roast.
- Bake for 20 -25 minutes. Keep watch on the seeds as they will burn if roasted for to long.
- Allow to cool before serving.
Enjoy!
Feel like snacking? Roast up some seeds!
It’s Halloween tomorrow and after carving a pumpkin I kept the seeds and roasted them up for a super crunchy snack. There are about 85 seeds in one ounce of pumpkin seeds. That one ounce contains healthy fats, magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants. They are powerful little seeds.
