Before you throw out the guts of that jack-o'-lantern you've carved, try this basic, healthy recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds.
Pumpkin seeds are loaded with nutrients. They're high in both plant sterols, which may help lower cholesterol, and phytochemicals, which promote prostate health. Pumpkin seeds are a good source of protein, fiber, potassium, and magnesium. Try them alone, toss over a salad, or get creative.

Yum! I love pumpkin seeds
1I used to LOVE pumpkin seeds. I always looked forward to my mom roasting them as a child. Then I ate too much and was sick for several days. Now I avoid them. Just looking at the picture made my stomach churn
So sad.
2Olive oil and salt is all I need.
3Adult pumpking seeds; Soak seeds overnight in enough anisette to cover seeds. Remove before baking. Very lightly salt to taste. Bake. Sweet and salty,and no worries about alcohol absorption.
4yeah, I usually just use olive oil and salt. But, great idea! I love it when Halloween comes around since it's roasting pumpkin seeds time for us adults (beside taking our kid around for trick or treating)!
