CAJUN SPICED ROASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS



Cajun Spiced Roasted Pumpkin Seeds image

Double or triple this roasted pumpkin seed recipe depending on how many cups of seeds you have. One large pumpkin will generally yield 1 cup or pumpkin seeds, and smaller pie pumpkins will yield about the same amount. Toss a salad with these seeds, sprinkle over a chicken dish, or serve as a snack.
