What does that mean? Means its time to dissect those pumpkins and milk all that internal goodness out of those orange gourds. Today I roasted my pumpkin seeds and they turned out so yummy I wanted to share the recipe with you.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Wash and dry seeds completely. When they are dry, toss with a small amount of vegetable oil and salt in a bowl. Make sure they are evenly coated.

Spread seeds on a baking sheet and sprinkle with any combination of the following: cinnamon, paprika, chili powder, sugar. (I used cinnamon and paprika for my first batch, but I think I will try cinnamon, sugar and chili powder for a hot/sweet flavor next time).

Bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes. Let cool. Enjoy!
