Pumpkin seeds are the unintentional gift of a pumpkin ? but many cooks consider them a bit of a problem. Whether you’ve been carving jack o’ lanterns or you’ve been scooping out sugar pumpkins for pie making, all too often these tiny white nuisances end up in the trash. However, prepping and roasting pumpkin seeds turns them into a shareable snack that will keep your family or guests coming back for more. Roasted pumpkin seeds become incredibly crisp and can soak up a lot of flavors. Here are some ideas.
