However, as I get ready to host my first ever Thanksgiving dinner, I am starting to clean up. As I looked around today, there were 6 pumpkins that my roommate, our families, and I had picked over Halloween. So I decided to make some roasted, flavored pumpkins seeds.
So I cut open 2 large pumpkins and 2 of the smaller pumpkins and took all the seeds out (I quit after 4 because the smaller pumpkins are so much harder to cut open).
I then rinsed the seeds in a collander.
Then I attempted to pat them dry, but they stuck to everything.
Then I melted 2 tbsp of butter and put 2 cups of seeds and the butter in a ziploc bag and shook til everything was well coated.
I preheated my oven to 300, sprayed a cookie sheet liberally with cooking spray. I spread the seeds on the cookie sheet and shook on the seasoning (I made garlic salt and cinnamon and sugar flavors)
Bake for 30 min. Every 8-10 min stir the seeds to prevent burning. Then cool and serve.
I didn't add enough garlic salt and they were a little crispy... The cinnamon sugar I cut by 4 min. and they were delish!
Happy Autumn.....look for turkey day postings later this week!
