Well, it's that time of year again - time for pumpkin carving. Rather ambitiously, my roommate and I bought two each to carve (mine are the two on the left). After we finished, we spent a considerable amount of time salvaging the seeds from the mess of pumpkin pulp for roasting (recipe for spiced pumpkin seeds from the October issue of Whole Living magazine ).
Bake the seeds on a baking sheet at 350 for about 20 minutes. Pour the seeds into a mixing bowl and stir in the following (this mixture will coat about 1 cup of pumpkin seeds):
1 tbsp honey
1 pinch cinnamon
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Once all the seeds are coated, return them to the baking sheet and bake for another 15 minutes or so.
These seeds will make a tasty, fibrous snack for the coming week before the predictable deluge of candy and sweets on Halloween.
this looks tasty.. i will try to salvage some seeds from pumpkin-carving next week :]
ReplyDeleteThose are good carvings I might attempt to carve some myself. I haven't tried it in a while
ReplyDeleteI just bought some carving kits today. I'm not sure about doing the seeds, but if Kateri wants to . . .
ReplyDeleteand I did! mom and I agree they are very tasty!
ReplyDeleteI am going to make some more of the seeds because Kateri is taking hers back to school. They were so good and surprisingly sweet with the small amount of honey used.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I'm glad you guys tried and liked them!
