One of the fondest memories for many of us growing up is roasting pumpkin seeds. It’s a wonderful tradition after removing them from the pumpkin you’ve just craved. They’re subtly sweet and nutty. Not only are they a tasty snack, pumpkin seeds are one of the most nutritious and flavorful seeds. My favorite way is to roast them with heart healthy olive oil and season with a little salt. You could spice things up a bit by adding garlic powder, cayenne pepper and or seasoning salt. They taste completely different and so much better than the salty kind sold at convenience stores or gas stations. I love them hot right out of the oven…Yum!

    I made these this morning after we carved our pumkins! Not growing up in the States I'd never had them before. Delicious. Will mix them with my granola. Thanks for sharing.

      How do you eat them -- just eat them? Or do you have to crack the shells to get to the nut?

        No need to crack the shells, just pop the entire seed into your mouth! When roasted they're very crunchy and taste great whole.

        I agree, Making your own makes so much sense and it is fun to scoop out that pumpkin
