Here's a quick and easy snack that will keep you noming all month long. I had my first experience with cooking a pumpkin in my oven. I froze the insides and cooked the seeds. Truth be told, I had never had pumpkin seeds before the time I made these. Clearly I was missing out, because they tasted so good. Caroline had a taste too. She liked them, but we all had a hard time sharing. ;)

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Prep time 30 minutes
Cook time 1 Hour
Servings, 12
Ingredients
• 1 whole Pumpkin, Gutted
• Olive Oil
• Table Salt
Directions
As you gut the pumpkins, keep all the seeds—and guts—in a
bowl.
Throw them into a colander and rinse them under cold
water, pulling away the chunks of pulp as you go.
Spread the rinsed seeds out on a baking sheet.
Allow the seeds to dry several hours or overnight. And
beware: they’re quite sticky/slimy, so don’t place them on paper towels! Just
leave ‘em on the baking sheet and they’ll be fine.
When they’re nice and dry, go ahead and preheat the oven
to 250 degrees.
Begin by drizzling the seeds with a couple teaspoons of
olive oil.
Use your fingers to toss the seeds around to coat.
Then salt and season the seeds to taste.
Pop ‘em in the oven for an hour or so, until the seeds
are light golden brown.
Let them cool for a few minutes…then let the snacking
begin!
Pumpkin seeds need to be stored in an airtight container
if they last beyond the first day.
