Our own summary of the original — the full post and photos live at prudentbaby.com.
This simple recipe takes fresh pumpkin seeds from carving pumpkins and turns them into a savory toasted treat. Coated in butter, parmesan, and garlic salt, they bake quickly in the oven for a perfect Halloween snack. Store them in clean baby food jars for a fun, portable container.
Ingredients
Directions
- Wash the pumpkin seeds you've scooped out of any pumpkin and pat them dry.
- Warm up two teaspoons of butter until melted. You can use homemade butter if you like.
- Combine the seeds with the melted butter, a sprinkle of parmesan, and garlic salt according to your preference. Don't be shy with the seasoning.
- Arrange the seeds in a single layer on a greased baking sheet (I like to line mine with foil). Bake at 375°F for about 8 minutes. Keep an eye on them—when they start to pop, they're done. Pull them out before they burn. A little char is fine if you like that.
