What do you do with all those pumpkins after Halloween is all over? Scoop out the seeds and roast them, of course! We had so many pumpkin seeds left over after carving our pumpkins and, since they are so good for you, we wanted to roast them and take them to school as a snack. Did you know that pumpkin seeds have lots of magnesium, zinc, omega-3 fats and tryptophan? They are great for your heart, bones and eyes, and help you to relax and sleep better too!
We hope you enjoy these this fall season. Thanks so much for watching! And if you like these videos, please subscribe to our channel!

A tasty autumn snack done three different ways. Plus, it's a great way to use your leftover Halloween pumpkins!
Ingredients
- Pumpkin seeds scooped out
Spicy
- Drizzle of olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon sea salt
- 1 Tablespoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- Optional: add a little chili powder if you like it really spicy
Vegan Cheesy
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/4 cup ground sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup ground hemp seeds
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Sweet
- Drizzle of melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla powder
Instructions
- Cut open a pumpkin, scoop out all of the seeds and clear away the pieces of pumpkin.
- Spread them on an oiled baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes at 300 degrees to dry them out.
- After they are dry, split them into 3 bowls.
- In the first bowl, for a spicy Indian flavor, drizzle some olive oil on top of your seeds.
- Mix the sea salt, garam masala and curry powder together and sprinkle over the seeds. (Use your best judgement for how much spice to use, depending on the amount of pumpkin seeds you get out of your pumpkin.) You can even put a little chili powder in, if you like it really spicy.
- Mix well.
- In another bowl, for a cheesy taste, drizzle the seeds with olive oil and sprinkle with the juice of a half of a lemon.
- Then blend together the sea salt, paprika, coriander, onion, garlic, and ground sunflower and hemp seeds.
- Mix well.
- And finally, for a sweet taste, drizzle with melted coconut oil and maple syrup.
- Then mix the cinnamon and vanilla powder together and sprinkle on top.
- Mix well.
- And, of course, add a lot of love!
- Now put them all back on baking sheets and back in the oven for another 20 minutes until they are toasted.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- You can even do a bonus batch of pumpkin pie flavor….cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Yummy!
