Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Pin It

Don't throw those seeds out, eat them!
Pumpkin seeds are a very good source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They're also a good source of protein.
In addition, pumpkin seeds can also benefit your dogs. They're great for their health and help keep parasites away. Grind some raw seeds up and put a little into their food everyday.

To Roast:
Rinse and drain seeds.
Lay out on parchment paper and sprinkle with desired seasonings.
I used pumpkin pie spice and raw sugar on one side and a cajun seasoned salt on the other.
Bake at 350 until seeds are golden brown.

Let cool and enjoy!
