Instructions: Pumpkin seeds are highly nutritious and need little more than a sprinkle of salt to enhance their natural, nutty flavor. If your pumpkin is particularly beautiful, you may want to save a few seeds for planting in the spring; the rest will make a delicious snack. After your jack-o-lantern carving is done, simply separate the seeds from the pulp, and spread them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, disposing of any that are damaged or shriveled. Dont wash the seeds-the bits of pumpkin flesh make them sweet and flavorful. Sprinkle lightly with coarse salt, or with a salt-free seasoning, if desired. Place in a 350-degree oven 5 to 10 minutes; the aroma of the toasted seeds will tell you when theyre ready.
