In honor of Halloween next week, I’m doing a flashback post. No, I’m not going to recap my Halloween costumes past…I already did that this week. Instead, I’m going to flashback to a post I wrote back in 2011 highlighting my sweet and spicy roasted pumpkin seeds. My blog was a lot smaller back then and I had really just found the blogging community that fall. For some reason, this particular post has blown up on Pinterest in the past week! Since Pinterest finds it useful, I thought my lovely readers and friends would appreciate it to. So here is a re-post of my Sweet and Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Seeds! Just in time for you to carve your pumpkins and pick the goopy seeds out.
Spicy Pumpkin Seeds
Smokey and spicy for a savory snack.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of pumpkin seeds
- 2 tsp Worcester sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp melted butter
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Mix all of the ingredients together in a baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes, let cool and enjoy!
Sweet Pumpkin Seeds
Sweet, salty and delicious. Similar to kettle corn.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of pumpkin seeds
- 1 1/2 tbsp of butter
- 1 tbsp of sugar and a dash of salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 275 degrees. Mix seeds, butter and sugar together in a bowl. Spread out along a foil wrapped baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt then bake for 25 minutes, let cool and enjoy!
So if you’re going to carve a pumpkin this weekend, don’t just throw away the seeds! Scoop ’em out, separate them from the goo, wash them off and prep them for a tasty treat! These sweet and spicy roasted pumpkin seed recipes are just a few of the many out there.
Have a wonderful weekend y’all! I’m heading into a whirlwind of Aggie footballing and half marathoning!
