InternationalForget not, waste not… turn leftover pumpkin seeds into a delicious treat! Lets give 'em pumpkin to talk about.

Ingredients
- 2 Cups pumpkin seeds (from about 2 small pumpkins)
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper adjust per your taste
- 2 1/2 Tbsp honey
- sea salt to taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 160 degrees C fan. Cut open your pumpkins. Scoop out the guts and stringy pumpkin flesh from the seeds.
- Place in a colander and run under water to rinse and separate the seeds from the rest of the pumpkin guts.
- Transfer seeds to a large pot with water and bring to a boil.
- Boil for 2-3 minutes, drain, and lay out and pat dry if necessary.
- In an oven-safe skillet, warm the oil over medium heat and sauté the pumpkin seeds and spices until lightly golden (do this for about 3 minutes).
- Stir in the honey with a rubber spatula.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven.
- Roast seeds for 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10-15 minutes so as to avoid any burning.
- Taste test the seeds. You want them to be crispy throughout, and not soft in the center.
- Continue roasting if necessary.
- Once finished, lay the seeds out onto a parchment lined baking sheet or flat surface to cool.
- Sprinkle with salt to taste, while still warm.
- Wait until cooled completely, and enjoy!
