Baked pumpkin seeds


Craving pumpkins is my favorite part of Halloween. Something about the smell of a freshly cut pumpkin and touching the slimy goo inside, I just love. Also don't forget the fun designs and creative ways to turn your pumpkin into something special. I always save the seeds when I carve my pumpkins to bake. They are a really tasty healthy snack I look forward to having each year. To make them, I gather all the seeds and clean them. Then I soak them in salt water over night. I strain them and pat them dry and layer them on a cookie sheet. I pour about a tablespoon of butter and sprinkle with salt, then toss them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 40 mins or until browned. I leave them in a little longer because I like them really crunchy. I sprinkled a little curry powder on these for an added flavor.
