Wait don't throw those seeds away! Oh my, these are so nummy! There were a couple squabbles over this treat, since there aren't as many seeds as a good size pumpkin would have inside it.
They are so divine just roasted in the oven until golden brown. All you need to do is: lightly spray a pan, spread out rinsed seeds on pan, lightly spray tops with oil, sprinkle with salt, and roast in oven on 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 7-10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as they cook faster than pumpkin seeds.
It would make a tasty treat for a small Halloween party, but if there are a lot of people coming they'll disappear too fast for everyone to get some. Enjoy!
Those sound excellent! How do they taste as compared to pumpkin seeds? I don't cook squash so often, but I definitely want to try this next time I do.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It is pretty similar to a pumpkin seed, but since they are smaller they are crunchier. If I could choose, I would pick these over pumpkin seeds.
ReplyDeleteI love squash seeds and yours look perfectly toasted. BTW, I passed on the Liebster Blog award to you. You can get directions on how to pick it up and award it to others on my post for today.
