Roasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds Recipe – Save those seeds when carving Halloween pumpkins! Roasted pumpkin seeds ingredients include olive oil, salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, seasoning salt, and / or cajun seasoning. My favorite seasoning to top them off is Trader Joe’s Everything Bagel seasoning!

Don’t throw out the pumpkin seeds when making Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns, pumpkin seeds make great snacks that are rich in fiber as well as vitamins B and E.

Kids especially love them. Purists will want only salt as a seasoning, but if you’re feeling adventurous, experiment and have fun with seasoning blends.  Last year I tried the garlic powder and salt and it was really good. I also went with the olive oil over the butter, and tried to keep up the healthy attributes.
