We all know that toated pumpkin seeds are a tasty treat, but you can also snack on the seeds from any winter squash. They're a great source of iron, zinc and fiber.
Place scrapings from the inside of squash in a large bowl and break apart membrains with your fingers.
Fill bowl with water and let stand at least 5 minutes. Transfer seeds to a paper towel with a slotted spoon. Pat dry.
Toss 1 cup squash seeds with 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp peprika, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1 Tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1/4 each sea salt and black pepper.
Spread in a single layer on a parchment- lined baking sheet.
Bake at 350 tossing occasionally, until fragrant, toasted and beginning to brown.
12 to 14 minutes

Hi Alison,
DeleteYou will love the seeds this way. They also taste good sprinkled in salad after they are roasted!
