This is a simple recipe to make sweet or savory pumpkin seeds.  You can use seeds from the jack-o-lantern you just carved or those from the cooking pumpkins you recently dissected.

1 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds

2 teaspoons Olive Oil

1 tsp Bayou Blackening Balm for savory seeds with a bit of heat

or

1 tbsp Maple Sugar for Sweet Seeds

1. Preheat oven to 300° F.

2. While it's OK to leave some strings and pulp on your seeds (it adds flavor) clean off any major chunks.

3. Toss pumpkin seeds in a bowl with and Bayou Blackening Balm or Maple Sugar.

4. Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on baking sheet.

5. Bake for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
