Crunchy Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Last Updated March 22nd, 2018 at 03:25 am by Lisa

Crunchy Roasted Pumpkin Seeds are a perfect snack and add just the right crunch to a Fall salad like spinach and cranberry to serve at Thanksgiving dinner.

Roasting pumpkin seeds is now a Fall family tradition….

If you have pumpkins left from Halloween you can freeze the seeds in a zip lock bag until you’re ready to roast them.

They are worth the effort because something magical happens in the spices and butter. Yes, butter. They come out golden brown and have a nice crunch.

Serve as an easy appetizer with drinks or sprinkle on a Fall spinach and cranberry salad with a lemon vinaigrette.

Place rinsed seeds in a large bowl, add garlic powder, cayenne, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, sea salt, and melted butter.

Spread a single layer on either a parchment lined roasting pan or cookie sheet.

Roast 375 for 35 minutes. Stir and turn over at about 20 minutes to get even golden brown.
