Not all Halloween treats come in wrappers. Some come in a pumpkin

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:19:45 GMT

For many kids, and some die-hard adults, the runup to Halloween is cause for elation. There’s the trying on of costumes, the laying in of a generous supply of candy for trick or treaters, and, of course, the pumpkin decorating.Carving pumpkins is messy work, but there is a built-in snack reward at the end. Don’t throw out those seeds – roast them!Not only are they delicious, but making your own crunchy pumpkin seeds means you get to make sure the amount of oil and salt remains within reason, and you also get to show your kids that not all snacks come in crinkly bags; sometimes they come in a pumpkin.Don’t bypass the cleaning step. If your seeds aren’t clean and dry, they won’t crisp up properly. First, scoop out all of the guts and seeds from your pumpkin. I like to use a large metal spoon for this. Place the whole mess in a bowl.Then remove the pumpkin guts from the seeds. Some kids will find the gloppiness gross in a yucky way, but some will find it gross in an enticing way....
