What to do with all those seeds in your pumpkin tonight on All Hallows Eve? Don't go throwing all those pumpkin guts away now because pumpkin seeds make a great salty gluten free snack. There are times when I am just craving salt - now I'm pretty heath conscious so I don't want to be stuffing myself full of chips and gluten free pretzels but pumpkin seeds are a great low calorie salty snack. So don't be afraid of that orange goo - and make yourself some pumpkin seeds tonight! Hey, you might save yourself some calories by snacking on these instead of all that candy!

Getting the seeds out of the pumpkin

• put all the pumpkin goo into a big bowl and fill with water
• Loose seeds will come to the top so scoop the easy ones out 1st 
• Comb through the pumpkin to get remaining seeds 
• Put all your seeds in another large bowl and fill with water and pull out any pumpkin that may have been clinging onto the seeds. 

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds 

What You'll Need

• Pumpkin Seeds
• Kosher Salt 
• Old Bay Seasoning (optional) 

Let's Get Cookin' 

• Preheat oven to 350 
• Spread seeds onto a baking sheet - pat with a paper towel (they don't have to be completely dry but you don't want the soaking wet either) 
• Cover seeds generously in salt and Old Bay Seasoning 
• Put in the over for 1 hour - till the seeds are a beautiful toasty brown color 

Note: If you want them extra salty put the seeds in water and salt overnight. Add 1/4 cup to every 1 cup of water. This makes them even more amazing!
