What better way to celebrate October than carve a pumpkin? As soon as we decided to buy some pumpkins today at the farmer's market I was already planning in my head what we should do with the seeds. We decided to get a little bit creative and make sweet and salty flavors, in addition to plain old salt (a classic).
The sweet seeds (shown below on the left) are made up of brown sugar and cinnamon. I didn't use any measurements but combined the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl and mixed in the seeds.
To make the spicy seeds, we combined ground hot pepper and garlic powder. I spread them on a cookie sheet and popped them in the oven at 375 degrees for about 12 minutes.
Note - depending on how dry the seeds are after you've rinsed but before you've combined with other ingredients, the cooking time may vary. We laid the seeds out for a couple of hours to air dry.
