Don’t toss those pumpkin or squash seeds. Toast them for a tasty treat, or add to soups and salads. Great for prostate health, they are also highly nutritious and contain manganese, magnesium, vitamin K, zinc, phosphorous, fiber, and protein.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Rinse pumpkin or squash seeds well, removing pulp, and blot dry with a dish towel. Put into a bowl and add olive oil to coat. Stir in seasonings of choice. I like salt, pepper, onion and garlic flakes, and some cayenne. I’ll sometimes add cinnamon and brown sugar for a sweet, spicy taste. Put in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until golden brown, about 25 – 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool and eat whole, yum!
