How To Make kickin' toasted pumpkin seeds

  • Step 1
    Once the innards are scraped from the pumpkin or squash, remove the seeds from the squishy, stringy stuff, rinse and spread out to dry.
  • Step 2
    Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Step 3
    In a bowl combine all ingredients until seeds are coated well.
  • Step 4
    Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake until toasted and slightly browned, about 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through. Watch carefully to avoid burning as all ovens vary on cook times. Remove from oven, and let cool before serving.
