Roasted Pumpkin Seeds




It's HALLOWEEN. Candy, chocolate, costumes, cute kids trick-or-treating, pumpkin carving, and of course, roasted pumpkin seeds.

I love roasted pumpkin seeds.

There are a number of way to roast them, but here's what I did.

What you'll need:

1 cup of pumpkin seeds
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (I used a little bit more because I love vinegar)
1 tsp minced or powdered garlic
1 tsp minced or dried rosemary
1 tsp minced or dried thyme
1 tsp salt

Rinse pumpkin seeds and let them dry out for an hour or so. Then mix the seeds in a bowl with all of the ingredients.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread seeds on the parchment paper and bake for 20-30 minutes or until they are a light gold colour. Make sure you shake or toss around the seeds every 5 or so minutes.

I also followed the same instructions as above, but used olive oil, 1 tbsp of brown sugar, 1.5 tsp of cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey. If you prefer sweet to salty, these are the pumpkin seeds that you should bake :)
