*Baked Pumpkin Seeds*

It is that time to turn those raw pumpkin seeds into golden baked deliciousness! I had a little over three cups of pumpkin seeds to make this year from three very large pumpkins. I usually boil my pumpkin seeds but wanted to try a different recipe this year. So I decided to butter them up and bake them. I used a very easy recipe with ingredients I already had. The most tedious part is spreading out those seeds onto baking sheets. Otherwise it is a piece of cake. The seeds turned out a crisp golden and have just the right amount of crunch. Pumpkin seeds are such an exciting part of fall!
