Pumpkin Seeds

So you're planning on carving a pumpkin for Halloween. May I recommend Zombie Pumpkins as an awesome site for templates?

So after you pick your pumpkin, and your design... It's time to start carving.

This is Audrey, she's my awesome little pal, and we do lots of fun stuff together. Today we're going to carve some pumpkins and toast the seeds! YUM!

When you clean out your pumpkin, make sure you keep a colander near by to collect all the gooey pumpkin seeds.

Preheat your oven to 350* Make sure you rinse the seeds twice, to get all the pulp off of them. Then mix in a bowl...

melted butter, margarine or oil
spices to taste ( I like to use seasoning salt)
salt
pumpkin seeds

(You could also go the sweet route and use cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and sugar. The pumpkin seed world is your oyster!)

Toss to coat and spread out evenly on a baking sheet.

Bake 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until golden brown.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
