Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

So you carved your pumpkins and you likely are left wondering what to do with the seeds right? You know you want to roast them, but it just seems like a task not worth completing, right?
 
What? You threw them away? Tell me you did not!

Oh, you were joking ... good ... phew! Then let's chat! It's actually super simple. First all you have to do is rinse them, pat them dry, and lay them on a cookie sheet in a thin layer. Don't go too crazy worrying about the pumpkin bits. They come off real easy, but a few pieces here and there are fine. You do know it is a squash right? Eating it is an option! :)
 
 
Spray the pan with non-stick spray (I didn't use oil to keep it even more healthy), and sprinkle them with some salt (or other flavors if you wish). I had two batches, and one I make with salt and my homemade chipotle! (http://greatfooddaily.blogspot.com/2012/09/smokin-hot.html)
 

Just throw them in a 325 degree oven, take them out after 10-15 minutes, spray again, and toss them around, and then put them back in the oven for another 15 minutes or until they look like this! Yumm! 

 
 
 
 
Oh, and bonus, you get to have cool looking pumpkins too! The more you carve, the more seeds you eat! Happy Halloween! =)
