Roasted pumpkin seeds are one of the best things about fall. A close second?
Roasted squash seeds 
and they’re so easy!
Rinse 1 C seeds with cold water, removing all of the squash pulp. Do this a few days before you roast the squash, and store in the fridge. That way, when you’ll go to roast the seeds, you call the process easy
Coat with 1 T olive oil, and salt to taste.
Spread out on a baking sheet.
Roast at 275* for 20 minutes or so, until they are all brown and toasty.
Enjoy! 
Seeds are excellent sources of fiber, selenium and vitamin E. They also contain protein, zinc, and iron. While they are pretty calorie and fat dense, a 1/8-1/4 C portion makes an excellent snack!

I think I don’t feel very comfortable eating some foods because they’re calorie dense. It’s the same with peanut butter or any nut butter actually. I know they are good for me, but for now, I just don’t feel too comfortable around them.

I have NEVER thought of using squash seeds instead of pumpkin (not that pumpkin is not squash or anything…) but I’m going to have to try this now!

Hey, thanks for posting this! I was considering roasting the seeds of a squash that I made last week, but I was too chicken…I wasn’t sure if it would turn out. Next time I’ll try this, for sure!

I always forget how great seeds are for a snack! I think I may have to roast some after I carve my jack-o-lantern.

Okay let me admit something to you . . . I wrote that post on squash seeds the other night while they were roasting in the oven . . . mine tasted like CRAP, I think I better try again.
