About Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
We always carve at least one Jack ‘O Lantern in October. The first step is to remove the top and scoop out all of the pulp and seeds from the inside of the pumpkin. We never let the seeds go to waste though. We roast pumpkin seeds and eat them instead.
If you want to roast the seeds from your pumpkin, our recipe is below. These never last long in our house.
