It’s pumpkin carving season!
Instead of tossing out those pumpkin seeds, try roasting them up for a healthy and filling fall snack that’s a cinch to make. When you’re finished with your pumpkin carving, place pumpkin seeds in a colander and rinse with cold water. After they’re thoroughly rinsed, place the seeds in a bowl of water—the pumpkin seeds should separate and float on the top. Once separated, spoon out the pumpkin seeds using a slotted spoon then place onto a paper towel and pat dry. Once dry, pick your favorite spices to create a flavor-packed treat!
