I honestly haven’t had many things pumpkin this year…
But I am debating going out today and buying some pumpkin puree (I don’t feel like tackling the real thing) to make some cookies. Or maybe some pumpkin bars. We’ll see what I feel like!
But I have been munching on pumpkin seeds for a while!
We carved a pumpkin a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, the pumpkin has made it’s way to the garbage since apparently two weeks in the still-summer-not-fall Texas sun doesn’t bode well for those little orange guys. Luckily I got a huge batch of seeds out of it for roasting!
These cooked garlic roasted pumpkin seeds were always my favorite part of pumpkin carving. It is so easy to do and such a delicious snack! Of course, my favorite seasoning is garlic, but you can choose whatever seasoning fits your fancypants.
