Description

Don't throw away those pumpkin seeds when carving your Jack-o-lantern. Clean the pulp from the seeds, place on a prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven. They're delicious, healthy and fun to do with kids.

Ingredients

• fresh pumpkin seeds, from 1 pumpkin
• olive oil spray
• kosher salt, to taste

Steps

1. Remove the seeds from the inside of the pumpkin; separate the seeds from the stringy pulp and discard the pulp. Rinse the seeds in a colander under cold water, removing any remaining pumpkin residue.
2. Spread the seeds out on a towel; pat dry. Allow them to air dry for a few hours or overnight to help to achieve crispy seeds.
3. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
