My favorite part of Halloween is carving pumpkins and then roasting pumpkin seeds. Besides making a healthy and quick snack, pumpkin seeds are just downright delicious. They can be seasoned any way you like; salty or sweet. Nothing says the start of fall and fall comfort foods like homemade pumpkin seeds.
