Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Seed’s

Just in time to figure out what to make with all of those gooey guts from you’re pumpkins for the Holidays Ive got one for you!


I wanted to post this for Hallows Eve but got distracted a bit,lol. It will still work for Thanksgiving while you are using pumpkins for all those delicious meals you are surely to enjoy tremendously. Unfortunately for me because I will be cooking all that day {that’s not the unfortunate part but rather my very favorite part lol} I will not be able to post picture till afterwards, though I will try to at least have the recipes ready for you beforehand.



One of the best parts of the Holidays is cooking, I love the aroma of the house while I have everything in the oven. The kids playing and husband watching TV. I love the company coming over and that feeling of accomplishment. Yet I must be honest, for about a week or two weeks before hand I go utterly insane and stress myself [and everyone around me] with a trillion projects. haha.
Often times, the part I seriously detest is wasting parts of whatever it is I am cooking that we surely could use just because we don’t know how. I spent many years not certain how to make pumpkin seeds which my family [and I end up spending a pretty dollar for later on} so I decided heck, why not try it. Feel free to experiment with this one. So, what to do with all those seeds?



I took all the slimy part off the seeds and put them in apple cider Vinegar.
1 2/3 ~ Cup of vinegar [just in enough to cover the pumpkins, I had 3 so it was a bit,lol]
I leave it there for about half an hour and then take them out [personally I don’t wash them].


Put them on top of a cookie sheet. Add a few table spoons of water http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad49/floridas-girl/Pumpkin%20Seeds/DSCN7111.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">n

1~ tablespoon of:


~~~~ Paprika
~~~~Salt
~~~~Pumpkin Spice
~~~~Cinnamon
1 ½ Tablespoon ~ Brown Sugar



Make sure to evenly spread all around them and pre heat the oven to 350 degrees then put in .

About 35 to 45 min later take out. In between I move them around to ensure all sides get crispy. Oven temp. always vary so make sure not to leave them in for too long. If need be add a bit of water half way through.

Let cool and serve! They are a wonderful snack for the whole family and go incredibly well with a nice cold beer!
