Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Clean the seeds of pumpkin"strings" with water, then spread out to dry thoroughly before proceeding.

  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Combine melted butter with the Tabasco, cayenne, cumin and chili powder.
  • Place pumpkin seeds in a small bowl and pour butter mixture over; stir to coat seeds thoroughly.
  • Spread in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with salt to taste.
  • Bake 45 minutes, stirring once to turn the seeds about half-way through baking.
  • Let cool completely-- they'll be more crispy that way.
