Spicy Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

With pumpkin season in full swing we thought we would post a family favorite, Chipotle BBQ roasted pumpkin seeds. This is a recipe that we forget about most of the year but luckily remembered in time to post on our blog. If you live in America you celebrate Halloween. The tradition of carving pumpkins is a family favorite and toasting the seeds is a bonus for everyone to enjoy.

First cut the top out of your pumpkin and spoon out all the seeds onto cookie sheets, wax paper or whatever you have. Make sure the seeds are clean and you remove as much of the stuff that is not a pumpkin seed and allow to dry overnight. The next day remove any other non seed substance you may have missed.

The easy part
Place the dry seeds in a bowl and toss in melted butter to coat. How much butter, you may ask. Well since pumpkins come in all sizes all we can tell you is to make sure they are all lightly coated.

Next toss in a Tablespoon or so of Knox's Chipotle Barbecue Dry Rub and toss until coated.

Scatter pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Line the cookie sheet with tin foil for easy clean up.

The tricky part
Preheat your oven to 250 degrees. Place the cookie sheet with your seasoned pumpkin seeds on the center rack and bake for about 1 hour tossing every 15 minutes.

This is tricky because pumpkin seeds are thin and will burn very quickly. Tossing them helps make sure they do not do this but keep a close eye on them.

Your own gourmet toasted pumpkin seeds
This simple but tasty preparation can be made to order. If you like curry, try curry toasted pumpkin seeds. Maybe you like something a little more Cajun, use your favorite Cajun spice blend. The sky is the limit and we hope you enjoy your pumpkins from the carving right down to eating the toasted seeds.

Enjoy!

It has been a while since we have had time to write the blog. We moved and we introduced a Knox's Spice Gift Basket (Finally back in stock). It was a simple idea which sold out faster than we imagined. Anyway, we are working hard to make them available soon.

Also we want to remind you that if you are thinking of moving it is still a very unpleasant experience, so make it a good one.

With winter knocking on the door we will be experimenting with soups in the near future. The short list includes Cream of Broccoli, Cheesy Chowder, Potato Soup and possibly a Roasted Tomato Soup. But until we locate the boxes with our soup pots they will have to wait.

If anybody would like to submit a soup recipe we would gladly post it for others to try. Until next time.

Enjoy!
