Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

It may seem simple enough.  Why post a recipe about how to do the simplest thing ever?  But the truth is, most people don't roast pumpkin seeds to my standards.  Salt is not enough, people!  When the pumpkin has been carved, try this mix of spices instead this year.

The amounts below are to be used per 1 cup of rinsed pumpkin seeds.  Increase amounts as necessary.

Ingredients
  • Rinsed seeds from pumpkin
  • 1 tbsp light cooking oil
  • 1/8 tsp cumin
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Place dried seeds in a small mixing bowl
  • Mix with oil and spices
  • Spread seeds evenly over a baking sheet
  • Bake 20-25 minutes or until crisp and very lightly browned, tossing occasionally.  May have to increase for a larger amount of seeds
