Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

It's harvest time, and in our family, that means we get to enjoy the spaghetti squash from our garden. One of the side benefits is harvesting the seeds, about the same size as pumpkin seeds, for a delicious crunchy treat. In fact, I'm munching on a few as I write this blog. I like to use pumpkin pie spice on these, but you might enjoy experimenting with a number of different spices and even grated Parmesan cheese!

Prep time: 15 minutes    Dry time: overnight   Cook time: 30 minutes
​Eating time: anytime!
Ingredients
3/4 cup raw pumpkin or other large
      squash seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
​1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
1. 
Wash pumpkin seeds in a colander to remove the pulp. Spread the seeds out to dry overnight on a kitchen towel, or spread on a cookie sheet and dry in oven on low heat, watching carefully that they don't burn.
2. Once the seeds are dry, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
​3. In a small bowl, combine the oil, salt, and spice. Add the seeds and stir.
4. Line a baking sheet with foil, shinny side down, and spread the seeds evenly.
5. Bake the seeds until they are crunchy, stirring half way through, for about 20 to 30 minutes.
6. Cool and enjoy.
I hope you enjoy this dish. Let me know if you've tried it and how it turned out. Good cooking to you,

    Linda M. Kurth is the creative mind behind such stories as the romance, Home of the Heart, and her  memoir, God, the Devil and Divorce, as well as the recipes and crafts you'll find in these pages. Here's how this blog began:
    ​
    "This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

    "I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

    "Do it!" they urged. 

    I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
