Roasted Pumpkin Seed with Himalayan Salt

Roasted Pumpkin Seed with Himalayan Salt is my favorite! I love pumpkin seeds but only the ones that I get from curving a pumpkin.

I never buy them because they don't have that crispy taste that you get when you cook your own. My mom is the biggest fan and we use to buy extra pumpkins just to make seeds.

Most of my Halloween time over the years has been making treats or curving pumpkins but mostly roasting pumpkin seeds for the trick or treaters. As my nephew says to me during Halloween, "Trick a Treat make me something good to eat."

So on this spooky Halloween instead of loading up on candy, don't forget to roast your pumpkin seeds after curving your pumpkins. This seed is so good for you its worth eating.

Pumpkin seeds are a very good source of phosphorus, magnesium, manganese and copper. They are also loaded with other minerals including zinc and iron. Not to mention they are a good source of protein.
