Throwing out pumpkin seeds should be illegal with delicious recipes like this! One of the perks of carving pumpkins, is knowing pumpkin seeds will be made. Sometimes this treat is so good, I am tempted to purchase pumpkins just to make the seeds.
This year was no exception and I made a tasty batch of golden pumpkin seeds. I always try a different method every year and opted to use butter with the seeds. The butter kept the flavor and had the salt and other ingredients glued to the seeds. They were so flavorful!
A good tip is to turn the seeds every 10-15 minutes, so they do not burn. All the de-gutting of pumpkins, sorting and cleaning the seeds makes the manual labor worth it! Once these addicting pumpkin seeds are tasted, taking another trip to the pumpkin patch might be in order!
