How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds

Try Roasting Pumpkin Seeds For A Healthy Snack

Surely there will be no shortage of sweets in your house this week. If you’re like me, you need a healthy alternative to all those bite-sized chocolate treats.

Luckily fall’s most popular decoration pulls double-duty as a resource for a healthy snack, too.  Yes, I’m talking about pumpkins. You can scoop the seeds straight from the pumpkin or from the bulk bin at your local grocery store.

Pumpkin seeds contain health benefits like antioxidants and minerals.  So, if you are trying to slow down on Snickers, but still need a handful of something to satisfy, try these savory roasted pumpkin seeds for your snacking pleasure. Roasted pumpkin seeds make a great topping for soups and are a flavorful addition to salads.

    okay question: once roasted, can you eat the shell as you suggested in a salad? I v’e only sucked the flavor off and cracked to eat? I can’t remember as I haven’t had a real pumpkin in years due to various reasons of traveling, etc…HELP?
    Love your blog, sweet, inviting, and a fun place to visit!

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
