Yes, it has happened. Fall has come. How do I know? There are pumpkins outside the grocery store. The day I discovered this I had a free afternoon and ended up carving pumpkins with my cousins. Pumpkin carving is a great fall pastime, but don’t forget to roast the seeds for a fun fall snack.

How to

  1. Once you’ve finished with your carving and merrymaking, sort through the guts and collect all the seeds.
  2. Put the seeds in a bowl full of water. This helps separate them from the pumpkin guts. Then fish them out of water.
  3. Toss the seeds with olive oil, spread out on a baking sheet, and salt generously.
  4. Roast in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Give them more or less time depending on how light or dark golden brown you desire them.
  6. Let cool and enjoy a fantastic snack.
