Oh goodness y’all, it’s late September. And you know what that means? It means it’s almost October. And October is for pumpkins. And I love pumpkins. So this post is going to be the first of a few giving you some ideas for how to use all of that pumpkin you get for Halloween so you don’t waste any amazingness. Let’s start with some pumpkin seed recipes! Here’s how to start:
Preheat oven to 300
Remove seeds from pumpkins and rinse them
Toss 1 1/2 cups of seeds with 2 tbsp of butter, margarine, or oil
Mix with seasonings (or just salt for traditional seeds)
Spread in one even layer on a baking dish in the oven for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally
Seasoning options!
1) Curry: 1 tbsp curry powder, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 2 tsp lime juice, pinch of salt
2) Cinnamon Spice: 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp white sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, pinch of salt
3) Orange-Ginger: 2 tbsp white sugar, 1/2 tsp orange zest, 1 tsp ground ginger
