Make sure you save your pumpkin seeds when you carve pumpkins or make pumpkin puree this fall. Pumpkin seeds are not only edible, they are delicious. You can even eat them raw if you like, but my favorite way to eat pumpkin seeds is roasted with pumpkin pie spices.
To prepare your pumpkin seeds, remove the pumpkin flesh from the seeds, rinse in warm water and let dry for several hours until completely dry. Raw pumpkin seeds are also available in the bulk section of many grocery stores.
Save your pumpkin seeds and transform them into a delicious snack.
Ingredients
- 3 cups pumpkin seeds, rinsed and dried
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened or oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablepooons sugar
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (How to make Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place pumpkin seeds in a bowl.
- Mix butter and honey together in a small bowl. Pour over pumpkin seeds and toss to coat.
- Mix sugar and pumpkin pie spice mix together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mix over the pumpkin seeds and toss to evenly coat.
- Spread pumpkin seeds evenly over a cookie sheet. Roast for 25 - 30 minutes or until the seeds are brown and crunchy.

My Dad always used to roast pumpkin seeds (it was one of my favourite treats after carving the jack-o-lantern at Hallowe’en) but you’ve taken them to a whole new level here! I love the idea of these sweet and spicy treats
I wasn’t sure if I was going to carve a pumpkin this year but this may have just pushed me over into YES I AM because I’ll need seeds for this… thank you =)
