Pumpkin Seed Snack

Let's talk about pumpkin seeds. After you've carved your pumpkin, or are prepping it's goodness for a future pie -- you are left with a mass of slimy seeds.

Don't throw them out! Either save them and plant some pumpkins, or eaaat them.

Now that we're talking about pumpkin seeds, let's get fun and factual.

Did you know? That pumpkin seeds are a great source of zinc, and vitamin E! They're also a great source of healthy fats, proving to have about 13 grams of fat per one ounce serving.

Anyways, let's hop to it.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds:

Set your oven to bake at 400°.

I melted 1/2 tbs of coconut oil, and poured it into a small bowl.
Then place your seeds into the bowl (I had about a handful, increase/decrease measurements based on how many seeds you have). Add salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp cloves and 1/2 tsp sea salt.

Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, spread seeds evenly across the foil. Put 'em in the oven for 15-20 minutes. They'll start to pop, check on them occasionally, stir. Do your thang.

Take them out and let them cool! or eat them. Howevz
