Over the weekend, my family had our annual tradition of carving pumpkins – and toasting the seeds. It’s a once-a-year treat for me, so it’s something I look forward to every year. In years past, I just baked them with a little bit of salt (I shared last year the basics of how to toast pumpkin seeds), but this year, I decided to try something a little different. I cut back on the salt and seasoned them with a basic herb blend. They turned out fantastic – in fact, I can’t wait until next year to try out other recipes!
Do you have the same pumpkin-carving tradition? My daughter is getting just old enough to design her own pumpkin. I bet you can guess which one is hers, haha!
Yes, the pegasus unicorn. And she picked little Mickey for little brother. It was such a special evening – we’re all excited for Halloween in our house now!
But – back to the baking. Right? Right!
- 2 c. pumpkin seeds (about the amount in one large pumpkin)
- ½ tsp. + ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. onion powder
- ¼ tsp. rosemary
- Separate your pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin membrane, and soak them in just enough water to cover them, with1/2 tsp. salt.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cover a baking sheet with parchment (or spray with baking spray).
- Arrange seeds in a single layer on the sheet. Mix together ¼ tsp. salt, rosemary, onion powder and garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle over seeds.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until seeds are just brown.
Hope you enjoy – and happy carving at your house!
Yeah, looks like United has their side as long as their defensive pairings can hold up/waits for conspiracy theorists on another favorable MUFC draw
Yeah that’s what I’m talking about baby–nice work!
Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I’m grateful you made the post. It’s cleared the air for me.
Reading this makes my deiiocsns easier than taking candy from a baby.
