Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

Toasted pumpkin seeds

It’s pumpkin carving time again! Time to buy a ridiculously large pumpkin to carve for Halloween, and the perfect opportunity to bake delicious pumpkin seeds. This recipe comes from one of my best friends Kereese. She’s been making these same pumpkin seeds since the third grade when her teacher taught the class how to make them. I usually just bake them with salt but I love Kereese’s spin on a holiday favorite. The secret to these pumpkin seeds is the Worcestershire sauce. It gives the seeds a savory flavor while you are crunching on them.
