Halloween Bonanza

Happy Halloween! I love this time of year.  I am a Halloween Junkie.  I love to go to the pumpkin patch, carve them up, and use the seeds and insides for cooking.  I have been asked by many a few to divulge the secret of good toasted pumpkin seeds.  For them, I have two words: Egg Whites.

You can pretty much spice up your seeds with anything you like, garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, even bacon flavoring :-)


For my Pumpkin Seeds, I add Lime (or Lemon), Egg Whites, Paprika, Salt, and Pepper.

I yank the seeds out, dry them over night, mix up the ingredients above and fold the seeds into the mixture.

Cook in the oven on hot (450 F) for about 20 - 30 mins or until brown and eat'em!

Here is a great blog that i shamelessly borrowed the image from http://nourishedkitchen.com/toasted-pumpkin-seeds-chili-and-lime/

Happy Carving / Seed Making.

P.S. if you are in a last minute rush to find a Halloween costume, I highly recommend thrift stores.
