Whenever I think of Halloween and fall I think of pumpkins.  When I think of pumpkins I think of carving them and of roasted pumpkin seeds.  One of my favorite parts of carving the jack-o-lantern as a kid was scooping out the seeds and having my mom roast them in the oven.  There’s nothing quite like the smell of pumpkin seeds roasting in the oven.

This week #SundaySupper is sharing Crunchy Goodness and roasted pumpkin seeds definitely qualify!  I’m also excited because these pumpkin seeds are kicking off my #pumpkinweek here on Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks.  That’s right, every day for 8 days I’ll be sharing my favorite pumpkin recipes so make sure you stop back and check them out each day!

I can honestly say I’m not sure what my mom put on the pumpkin seeds when I was a kid.  I’m assuming it was just butter and salt but now I need to call her ask.  I jazzed my pumpkin seeds up a little more to give them some additional flavor but man did they bring back my childhood.  Crunchy, buttery, and delicious, these are a great fall snack that I can pop all day long.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
2 c. pumpkin seeds
3 T. butter
2 t. salt
1/2 t. black pepper
1/2 t. garlic powder

2.  Place the pumpkin seeds in a baking dish.  Pour the melted butter over top and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne.  Toss to coat.

3.  Bake for 30-45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.

4.  Remove from oven and serve hot.  Store in an air tight container for up to 3 days.

  1. I love roasted pumpkin seeds! Ever since I discovered kabocha squash, I’ve been roasting those seeds too, and man are they good! Usually I stick with olive oil, but next time I’m trying butter (why didn’t I think of that before?!)
