How to Make Spiced Pumpkin Seeds - Halloween Recipes
During Halloween, there are always more than enough pumpkins to carve. Why not make use of the seeds? This recipe for spiced pumpkin seeds is the perfect snack for snack time. Start by preheating your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. For the spice seasoning, combine one-and-a-half tablespoons of olive oil, melted butter, or margarine with a 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/8 of a teaspoon of garlic salt, and 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. To this mix, add 2 cups of raw whole pumpkin seeds. We recommend boiling the seeds for about 10 minutes to help them roast more evenly. Stir the pumpkin seeds together with the seasonings and transfer them to a baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Bake these in the preheated oven for about an hour, stirring occasionally, until they become nice and crispy. The aroma of the spiced pumpkin seeds is simply irresistible. They make a fantastic snack or a delicious topping for a green salad or butternut squash soup.
