Roasted Pumpkin Seeds [vegan]

Roasted pumpkin seeds are a delicious snack that can be easily made at home.

Roasted pumpkin seeds are a delicious snack that can be easily made at home. Nutritious, they contain magnesium, zinc and omega 3s.

More often than not though, we choose to throw them away even when they are right in front of us “in the flesh”. Yet we don’t even think twice about buying them in a plastic bag.

Next time you cook (or carve) a pumpkin, save these little gems, tossed in your favourite spice and give them a quick roast in the oven.

Here I have taken the seeds from this pumpkin hummus recipe and roast them at the same time as the pumpkin.
