Another Halloween Idea!

When carving your pumpkin, don't throw away the seeds...they can be oven roasted!  Pumpkin seeds are a very nutritious and satisfying treat. Here is a basic recipe from allrecipes.com.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

1 1/2 c raw pumpkin seeds

2 teaspoonfuls butter, melted

a pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. 

Toss the seeds in a bowl with melted butter and salt. Spread the seeds in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake for about 45 minutes,stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown.
