A Halloween Treat: Toasted Spicy Pumpkin Seeds


Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year, and when I lived at home we had many long standing traditions, one of them is we would always carve our pumpkins the night before halloween and we would collect all the seeds to make my favourite Halloween treat (yes, I like these even more than mini candy bars, mini potato chips, and surplees combined), toasted pumpkin seeds!

Ingredients:

Pumpkin seeds
Butter
Salt
Cayene pepper
Chili powder
Paprika

Directions:

Once the seeds are taken from the pumpkin, and all the pumpkin guts are removed, give them a quick rinse and then set them to dry for a night or two. In a pan on high heat, melt a table spoon or two of butter, enough to coat your seeds. Toss the seeds in the butter, add your salt, and just a pinch of each spice, you can make them as spicy or as mild as you want, the spices really bring out the natural flavour. Toast them until they turn a nice golden brown and are crispy! Enjoy!
