Pumpkins and Seeds
I love Halloween. Getting the pumpkins. Carving
them up. Roasting the pumpkin seeds. All smells like Autumn.
This year I made the pumpkin seeds a bit different. I used olive oil, kosher salt, 1/2 cup raw sugar, 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper and an egg white. Not sure you need the egg white when you have the olive oil but I used them both. Really mix up the pumpkin seeds so they are thoroughly covered with the mixture. Roast at 400 until they are browned, then mix them a little bit more and roast again. They were a little bit wet when they came out of the oven but I poured them into a bowl and they stuck together as they dried. Sweet with a little kick. We gobbled them up.

Thanks for the recipe! I crakced open my pumpkin tonight, and am roasting the seeds as we speak (using an egg white because you said so!). Tomorrow night- pumpkin pie!
