Don't toss those pumpkin seeds! Toast or roast pumpkin seeds in your oven in no time at all. They can can be salted or spiced to suit your palate. The shells are edible and are a good source of fiber.
After carving pumpins this evening, the girls and I are toasting the seeds. Searching recipes I found this one that sounds fun and delicious!
4 cups pumpkin seeds, rinsed and dried
1/2 cup margarine, melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup white sugar, divided
