My husband and daughter had a good time carving their Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns last night. I just wanted the pumpkin seeds for toasting, and they did all the hard work for me! 😉
Heidi Swanson at 101 Cookbooks has a wonderful recipe for Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, and I used her basic method for making my own little snacks. Using spices from my own cupboard, I made four savoury varieties:
- Garlic with Herbes de Provence,
- Curry,
- Chili, and
- Black Pepper,
each with a light sprinkling of salt.
I also made a sweet version for my little one — after toasting some plain seeds, I tossed them in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
Yum!
Happy Sewing — and Happy Halloween! 🙂
