Welcome to Seasoned Cooking and to Phil's International Flair!
With fall upon us this year, it's time to think of what to do with all the pumpkin seeds. Whether you purchase pumpkins or grow your own, there will be plenty of seeds to prepare. Pumpkin seeds are a great treat for the kids as well. They are very nutritious.
Of course, the seeds can be eaten raw, however I prefer to roast them. Pumpkin seeds can be roasted plain or salted. Try these recipes and let me know what you think.
Now, on to the recipe! Be well, and good eating!
