Roasting Pumpkin Seeds


It’s easy to roast pumpkin seeds. You have to remove all the “stuff” off of the seeds by rinsing them with water until they are totally clean. Next, spread them out on a towel to dry. Once they are dry you can toss them in cooking oil (just enough to coat). Spread them out evenly on a cookie sheet and sprinkle salt and garlic over them. If you don’t like garlic just use salt. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Don’t over cook. You have to let them cool completely before you sit down to enjoy them. They are yummy and have many health advantages including anti Inflammatory benefits.


A cup of roasted pumpkin seeds has about 285 calories so you have to be a little careful about grabbing handfuls at a time. If you trade in your Halloween candy for pumpkin seeds you’ll feel better and the health benefits will make you grin!
