Last year I carved a small pumpkin and ended up with 1/2 C of seeds... In keeping with my things don't have to be complicated theme, these Frank's Hot Sauce Pumpkin Seeds were simply baked ~low and slow~ with literally nothing except the hot sauce and salt. They dried out perfectly and were a nice spicy snack:@) Low carb too, in case that's of interest to you. Don't toss those seeds folks!
Frank's Hot Sauce Pumpkin Seeds
For each 1/2 C pumpkin seeds, cleaned, washed and dried with paper towels:
1 Tblsp Frank's Hot Sauce
1/4 tsp table salt
- Spread seeds onto baking sheet in single layer.
- Bake at 275 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven, stir, make a pile in center of baking sheet.
- Drizzle with hot sauce, mix well. Sprinkle on salt, mix well.
- Return to oven for 30 minutes, stirring twice. At this point I broke up any that were stuck together. Return to oven until dry and crunchy, check every 10 minutes. Mine only took the extra 10.
- Cool completely, store in airtight container.
Enjoy a snack and have a happy day:@)

These seeds look like a great snack Lynn. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI'll remember this for Mike, Lynn, for after he's done carving. He loves roasting the seeds and he also loves hot sauce. Happy weekend!
