Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Another delicious snack from that harvested jack-o-lantern, why throw it away when there are so many yummy options for it! Ralph's roomate, Eric, and his girlfriend, Dwiju, had the great idea of roasting the pumpkin seeds. I suggested spicing them with cayenne pepper (so that my dead, burned taste buds could still taste it!)... they turned out great. Enjoy...

Ingredients/Supplies:
-Pumpkin seeds, from a fresh pumpkin (possibly before the pumpkin puree), that have been washed so that they aren’t so slimy anymore.
-Baking pan
-Olive Oil
-Salt, Sugar, Cayenne Pepper, Cinnamon (optional or spiced as you like)

Preparation:
-Preheat oven to 400 F.
-Spread about a tablespoon of olive oil over the bottom of the pan
-Spread the cleaned seeds over the pan, all in one layer
-Sprinkle Salt to taste, or Sugar to taste over the layer of seeds
-Sprinkle Cayenne Pepper to taste over the layer of seeds
-Experiment with different spices – Cinnamon over the Sugar sounds great!
