Happy Halloween - Pumpkin Seeds

Surprise, surprise - we all LOVE pumpkin seeds!  We carved nine pumpkins, yes nine, so we had plenty of seeds.  Here's Gus and Greta carving away:

Harvesting the Seeds

We made three types of seeds:  cinnamon, regular, and spicy.

Here's a picture of regular roasted pumpkin seeds, with the picture taken on my Grandma's platter:

2 cups pumpkin seeds rinsed and blotted dry
3 T of vegetable oil
1 T of garlic salt

Toss the pumpkin seeds to coat and spread on a cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for an hour or until crunchy.
Stir about 1/2 way through and add garlic salt if needed.

Next we made the most delicious dessert:  Cinnamon Pumpkin Seeds!  We all LOVED these.

And last but not least, I made a few SPICY pumpkin seeds for the adults in the house and they were also good.  Here they are in my Grandma's bubble dish:

Mix 1 cup of dried pumpkin seeds with 2 tsp. of chili powder and 3 shakes of Tabasco.  Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.  Enjoy!

It seems you can't go wrong with pumpkin seeds.  Happy Halloween!  I'm looking forward to trick or treating with the kids.
