Seedy snack

I had bought a couple of pumpkins to have as some seasonal decoration in the fruit bowl. Then I decided to roast them off for some tasty winter soup. What I also thought I would try is to roast the seeds separately for a tasty snack.

First I needed to wash the pulp off the seeds, which I did by running them under a cold tap and pulling off the orange pulp. I then dried them off on some kitchen paper and scattered them onto a baking tray. Pouring over a few gluts of olive oil, salt and pepper, and some cumin and caraway seeds. I love those flavours, but you can use whatever you like. I then roasted them in an oven at 200°C for about 40 minutes. Just make sure you periodically give them a turn.

Once they cooled I put them into a glass jar. They’re delicious to nibble with a cold beer.
