Ingredients

▢ 1 cup acorn squash seeds
▢ 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
▢ ½ tsp salt or seasoning salt
▢ ¼ tsp each other seasonings of choice (I used pepper, paprika, hot chili powder, and garlic powder)

Instructions

Separate the seeds from the squash flesh as much as possible and add to a colander.
Rinse the seeds thoroughly, and remove any spall pieces of squash fibers that remain.
Allow your acorn squash seeds to dry on a kitchen towel. Do not use a paper towel as some of the tissue can get stuck to the seeds as they dry.
Once properly dried, pre-heat the oven to 350°.
Place the seeds directly onto a baking sheet, toss with olive oil, salt and spices using clean hands. Make sure all seeds are thoroughly coated in the oil and seasoning mixture.
Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Toss the seeds every 5 minutes to ensure even roasting. They should be lightly browned, you can test one to see if it's crunchy.
Allow to cool, and enjoy!
