Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

I am sure this year you might be buying a few pumpkins to carve. Kids love the tradition of having parents making jack-o-lanterns for Halloween.

Stick a candle in the middle and watch the face glow in the dark. The big question is: Once you hollow the pumpkin out, what do you do with the seeds?

Do you throw them out? I say NAY!! They make a crunchy and delicious snack for kids and adults.

On Monday my husband came home holding this huge pumpkin. My girl’s eyes lit up and instantly started thinking of a great spooky design.

Of course mommy blogger instead of helping them carve the pumpkin, I went on Periscope and broadcasted the whole process.

During the broadcast, I asked the viewers what ideas they had to do with the seeds. One lady told me to just bake them with salt.

I listened to her and that’s exactly what I did. The only difference is that I soaked them in salted water overnight. The results are amazing!

They are tasty, crunchy, and salty. My husband adds them on top of salads and I just like to snack on them just like nuts.

Now that I know these Roasted Pumpkin Seeds taste amazing, I told my husband to buy some more pumpkins so we have a steady supply of snacks at home.

My daughter even took some in her lunchbox. Check out our spooky pumpkins – My husband didn’t do a bad job.

The great thing about these Roasted Pumpkin Seeds is that you can flavor them in any way you’d like. Make them spicy, sweet, savory, etc.

I honestly love the real flavor of the seeds so salt for me is enough.

I hope you can try these delicious Roasted Pumpkin Seeds at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet. I promise to repost it.
