Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

The first time I had pumpkin seeds, they reminded me a lot of sunflower seeds which is one of my favorite snacks. Whenever I make anything from fresh pumpkins, I roast the seeds up for a tasty treat. You can season them with nearly any seasonings you desire. One of my favorite combinations is olive oil, Italian seasoning, and parmesan. Occasionally, as I did this time, I prefer to keep them simple and use only salt and pepper.

One of the most important things to keep in mind is that the pumpkin seeds become crispier when they are dry when you bake them.
