Pumpkin seeds can be extremely versatile and are packed with protein, fiber, and other nutrients. And since pumpkins are a fall staple, that means that now is the perfect time to use up all those pumpkin seeds at home. Here are a few ideas on how to do that.

Add to Chili

Chances are many of you still haven’t tried adding some pumpkin seeds to chili, which is a huge mistake, since they can give this dish a nice, crunchy texture.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

In case you’re not willing to experiment too much, you can still enjoy pumpkin seeds as a healthy and crunchy snack. To prepare this delicious snack, simply bake pumpkin seeds in the oven with some olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and paprika for 10 to 15 minutes.

Top Your Baked Goods

Pumpkin seeds are very versatile and can be used for making a variety of delicious recipes. The easiest way to add them to your diet this fall is to use them as a topping for baked goods such as muffins, crackers, cookies, or even bread.

Dress Up Your Breakfast

Pumpkin seeds are high in antioxidants, fiber, and other nutrients—which is exactly what we need for breakfast. That’s why you shouldn’t miss out on adding them to your oatmeal, pancakes, toast, and/or even smoothies.

As every fall arrives, pumpkin mania begins to take hold as people start to eat, drink, and prepare all things from this winter squash cultivar. There’s no doubt that buying pumpkins for home decorations and for food preparation is something that millions will do in the next couple of months.

If you’re using a pumpkin’s flesh for a recipe or a decorative Jack-o’-lantern, you will probably be removing its seeds before doing so. Don’t throw them away! Instead, roast them in your oven following this recipe to make a delicious snack.

Ingredients

  • Seeds of one pumpkin, washed and cleaned
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Instructions

First, you will want to remove the seeds from your pumpkin, separate them from the “gunky,” fleshy material that will be sticking onto them, and clean and drain them in a strainer.

After this, preheat your oven to 400 F.

Next, melt three tablespoons of butter and set aside in a small bowl. Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce to the butter and mix.

When the pumpkin seeds have dried, put them into a large bowl and drizzle the butter and seasonings mixture over them. Toss gently with a wooden spoon to ensure that the liquid covers all of the seeds.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place the pumpkin seeds on top. Roast on the top rack of your oven until the seeds are slightly brown. This should take somewhere between 5 and 15 minutes.

Wait for them to cool and store in an air-tight container. Enjoy!
