Spicy Pumpkin Seeds

By Linda Larsen, About.com

These crunchy, savory seeds will be devoured by the handful. You can find pumpkin seeds in the health food section of your grocery store - or use the ones that you scoop out of your Jack-O-Lantern.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp. Tabasco sauce
  • 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin
  • 1 Tbsp. chili powder

Preparation:

Place pumpkin seeds on ungreased cookie sheet. Mix together butter and Tabasco sauce and drizzle over the seeds. Combine spices and sprinkle over the coated seeds. Toss well to coat. Bake at 300 degrees 35-45 minutes until golden brown and crisp, stirring seeds once halfway through baking. Store in airtight container.
