After making a batch of pumpkin puree the other day, I cleaned the pulp off the pumpkin seeds and made a batch of roasted pumpkin seeds.  Usually I just add a bit of salt and pepper to the seeds, but this year I decided to add something new to my recipe, Worcestershire sauce.  And oh boy did it turn out good.  The Handsome Husband came home from work and without a word  grabbed the dish of pumpkin seeds and walked off with them.

I guess they were a hit,  because he ate them all. Ha!

Ingredients

1 cup fresh pumpkin seeds, washed and pulp removed
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees
Stir the ingredients together in a small bowl and than lay flat in a single layer on a lined baking sheet {I use silpats} and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until nice and crispy.  Stir every 20 minutes or so for even coloring.

Have YOU ever roasted pumpkin seeds before?

Do you have a favorite recipe? How do you prepare them?
