Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Every year my family likes to have a pumpkin carving contest. Unfortunately for me, I was not blessed with any type of artistic skills what so ever. So I use the traceable stencils available, they are easy to use and it makes my pumpkin look great every year.

However, my favorite part of the pumpkin carving contest is all of the pumpkin seeds we have available after. Don't throw them out people!! These are great for snacking, topping salads, and soups.

Giving you two flavor options because these are the ones I felt like sharing. What is your favorite pumpkin seed flavor? Let me know in the comments.

Let's get started!!
