Pumpkin Seeds

Today I slaved over a hot stove most of the morning. First, I cooked the pumpkin seeds that I saved from Luke's pumpkin. I've never eaten pumpkin seeds so I was eager to try them. I started by mixing all the ingredients together and then coating the seeds. Looking good, huh?

The recipe (which I added at the end of this post) said to bake them for 15-20 minutes. I set the oven timer for 15 minutes and when there was 4 minutes left on the timer, smoke started coming out of the over.... Needless to say, they got a little crisp.

 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter and add olive oil to it. Place seeds in a small bowl and toss with butter and seasonings (except kosher salt). Lay in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet.

 

Seasoning:

1/2 C pumpkin seeds, clean and dry

1/2 T butter
1/4 t olive oil
1/4 t celery salt
1/4 t onion powder
1/8 garlic powder
1/8 paprika
pinch cayenne
Kosher salt

 

ONLY COOK THEM FOR 8-10 MINUTES!!
