Roasted Pumpkin Seeds make a great snack; it can also be added to vegetable salad to make the texture better. I usually have roasted pumpkin seeds if I am not doing anything. Taking the seeds out of the outer shell before being able to enjoy the it is a good way to ease boredom.
Some of us carve pumpkins for Halloween for aesthetic purposes. Now, we all have an idea on how to make use of the seeds. Instead of just throwing it away, we can roast it to make roasted pumpkin seeds. Next time you make your pumpkin pie or even your sautéed kalabasa, try to save the seeds because we can always put it into good use.
After reading the recipe below, you will realize how easy it is to prepare roasted pumpkin seeds. I use a bit of oil to help roast the seeds better. You can put more oil than what is indicated in the recipe. I chose to add just a little bit of oil because I do not want my pumpkin seeds to be greasy. In fact, I rub the seeds in a paper towel after roasting so that the excess oil will be absorbed.
