If Halloween is usually an afterthought for you like it is for me, chances are you’ll be doing a little last-minute costume shopping and pumpkin carving late into the night tonight, or shamelessly giving your boss an excuse to duck out of work a bit early tomorrow. Don’t worry, I’ll be right there with you.
You may not have time to turn them into a tasty snack before Halloween, but put those pumpkin seeds aside as you carve your jack-o-lanterns tonight because those slimy little guys can quickly be turned into a delicious crunchy snack. Pumpkin seeds are an excellent source of important minerals such as zinc and magnesium, and are high in sources of iron, and a wide range of antioxidants including several different forms of Vitamin E.
Right now I’m having a hard time deciding which one of these 5 delicious pumpkin seed recipes I’m going to make… Looks like I may need to pick up another pumpkin or two this weekend!

How are you going to cook up your spare pumpkin seeds this year?
recipes are soo deliocious and looking very fresh,,,,, thanks for making it happened
I haven’t dabbled into the pumpkin seeds YET. But I am addicted to Butternut Squash seeds now! I make soup and use it as a garnish/crumble using this recipe –> http://www.picklesandpalmtrees.com/food/butternut-squash-soup-with-spicy-sausage-corn-wild-rice/ . The chocolate covered clusters look amazing and seem pretty simple. I’ll be trying that this season for sure! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for featuring our pumpkin seed granola recipe! Looks like we’re in great company with these beautiful photos (also, need to scrounge some seeds up to do the coffee + chocolate seed clusters. YUM).
I can’t wait to try these they look awesome!
Quick question are you and Lindsey doing Elf for health this holiday season again? I hope so I love it!
We are! Planning is in progress :)
Perfect timing! I am baking pumpkin seeds this afternoon and was subconsciously looking for inspiration.
So, I’m not the only one! :)
