How To Roast Pumpkin Seeds

One of my favorite memories of fall growing up was when my mom would make pumpkin seeds. She’d bag them up and put them in our lunches or just have them out for an after school snack and they were so good! So I knew it’d be a fun thing to make with my kid this fall. 

After we gutted (or shall I say I gutted) our pie pumpkins we discarded the stringy mess and saved the yummy seeds. I knew this would be a great snack for me to munch on as we made our way to Halloween. You know, so I’d stay out of the candy 🙂

The seeds were yummy and just a little salt went a long way! I’m hoping to use some to top pumpkin muffins or pumpkin bread if I get the chance to make it.
