Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

It’s pumpkin season! When carving your pumpkins, don’t toss the seeds. They make a great snack by drying and roasting.


Pumpkin seeds are packed full of nutrients such as antioxidants, iron, zinc, and magnesium, which can provide a variety of health benefits. Besides having them for a snack, you can add them to Greek yogurt, fruit bowls, and sprinkle them into salads, cereals, and soups. Consider saving those seeds at pumpkin carving time. Your body will thank you!
