Roasted pumpkin seeds are a great healthy snack – and they are fun to make with your kids after the pumpkin carving is done.
And, did you know you can toast any kind of squash seed as well, so don’t think you are limited to just toasting up pumpkin seeds, toast other squash seeds for a nice “trail mix variety” of pumpkin and squash seeds for snacks. And, they keep at room temperature for three months, but up to a year in the fridge, meaning you will be just in time for a new batch next Halloween!
Maybe I’ll do this with my son this year, but maybe it’s just me, but I remember my mom doing them when we were little, and I thought they were gross 🙂 I’ll be optimistic though, she wasn’t world’s greatest cook, so maybe she just did it wrong 😉
