Fall is my second favorite season of the four seasons we get here in Michigan. It would be my first on my favorite list if it had warmer temperatures. I'll be direct...I dislike being cold...like really really dislike being cold. And once the temperature falls below 60 I am bundled in my heavy sweaters, layered in my leg warmers, already wearing my big comfy ugg boots.
Therefore fall is my second favorite but not by far off from the first. Along with fall comes the smell of fresh stale leaves that rain down. The vibrant colors. The pumpkins and family trips to the pumpkin patches, the hayrides and homemade donuts. I could go on and on about why I think we all love fall but lastly the baking and cooking starts up again.
Every year after we head to the pumpkin patch and scout out our pumpkins we head home and carve out the seeds to bake. I finally mastered baking our pumpkin seeds. So I am sharing with you.
How To Bake Pumpkin Seeds
1. Rinse and dry your pumpkin seeds with paper towel.
2. In a bowl toss with a little olive oil. Or which ever oil you prefer.
3. Add in your spices and toss. I will give you some ideas at the end.
4. Lay your pumpkin seeds flat on a cooking sheet and bake at 325 degrees for 10-20 minutes until they are golden brown.
