I finally carved my pumpkin. I’m much more concerned with the seeds than the face. 🙂
I made my two favorite seeds:
Sugar and Spice Pumpkin Seeds (for 1 pumpkin’s worth):
- Two heaping spoonfuls of brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon
- Two tablespoons of water
Original Pumpkin Seeds (for 1 pumpkin’s worth):
- 1/2 –1 1 tablespoon salt (to taste)
- Drizzle olive oil
To make these simple yet delicious pumpkin seeds, just mix ingredients with cleaned seeds. Spread out the seeds on the bottom of a greased glass casserole dish and bake at 380 for 25 minutes. Stir together occasionally throughout. Note that the brown sugar ones will caramelize stick together (yum!).
And then I decorated. Up went the pumpkin:
On the front door, the paper towel ghost family:
In other news…
I slept through most of the afternoon 😉 and rose to eat:
Soup and grilled cheese and spinach sammie!
Mmm.
Off for dinner and to get ready for Megan’s party! 🙂
How do you do pumpkin seeds? There’s so many easy ways to roast them!
I’ve never made pumpkin seeds and honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen pumpkin seeds 😡 We buy chunks of pumpkin to cook (mostly soup) so I’ve only seen whole pumpkins for sale, never at home. It’s not a huge thing here as it is there. 🙂
