Last weekend I cubed several acorn squashes to make roasted acorn squash with rosemary. I saved the seeds and then made Chipotle Seasoned Acorn Squash Seeds.

Directions:

When you remove the seeds from your acorn squash, place them in a colander. Run the seeds under water and remove the pulp from the seeds.

Pat the seeds dry or place them on a towel and allow them to air-dry overnight.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Place acorn squash seeds on a cookie sheet. Pour 1 teaspoon oil over the squash seeds and toss to coat. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of your favorite spices over the acorn squash seeds and toss to evenly coat.

Spread the acorn squash seeds evenly over a cookie sheet. Roast for 15 minutes or until the seeds are brown and crunchy.
