You can roast up the squash seeds too this way, but I didn't know that at the time so I threw them away. Oh well, something to look forward to next time! Ingredients:
1 pie pumpkin worth of seeds, rinsed thoroughly |
2 tspns butter |
1 tbspn each: sea salt, chili powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300F.
2. Melt butter and spices in a separate pot and blend well.
3. Add to seeds and mix very well for several minutes.
4. Spread the spiced seeds on a flat baking tray and cook in 300F oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown, making sure to stir them around sometime in the middle.
5. These are best eaten warm with an extra dusting of brown sugar over them. If you're making this and the pumpkin meat in the same day, make sure to roast these up first. Once you have the oven at 400, it will take at least 2 hours for the oven to cool enough to roast anything at a lesser temperature.
