Summary
A snack that’s sweet, but not too sweet.
What to buy: We used raw pumpkin seeds (a.k.a. pepitas) for this recipe. You can also use the seeds left over from carving a pumpkin or roasting squash. Just collect the seeds, rinse them in a strainer to remove the pulp, and thoroughly pat them dry. They may take a few minutes longer in the oven, depending on how fresh they are.
Game plan: The seeds are best fresh from the oven but will last up to 5 days stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
