Pumpkin Seed Recipe
Cold weather always gives people an excuse to put on a little extra weight. Hey, I’m all for the big holiday meals and seasonal eating. But, what if there were healthy autumn snacks that still tasted great? Pumpkin seeds have always embodied the fall spirit, and it’s a relatively healthy snack (with moderation) that you can eat to keep your stomach busy. For this reason, I’ve found two different variations of pumpkin seed recipes that I have to share with you. These recipes are easy to make from home and a perfect snack for businesses to sell.
Recipe #1
Personally, I can’t handle spice. When I say I can’t handle it, I mean “mild” at Buffalo Wild Wings gives me a run for my money. Regardless, I certainly acknowledge that there are plenty of other people who love spice, so I found this awesome recipe just for you. As a business, it’s important to consider what your customers might like too. To prepare these pumpkin seeds, you will need:
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Garlic Powder
- Salt
- Cayenne Powder
- Olive Oil
- First, preheat your oven to a toasty 375 degrees.
- Then, take all ingredients and mix them together in a pot until the seeds are coated and all elements are blended.
- Finally, evenly place your seeds on a cooking tray and place in the oven for around 20 minutes, or until browned.
Recipe #2
Sugar? Cinnamon? Sign me up! If you or your customers have a sweet tooth like me, this recipe could be a match made in heaven for your taste buds. In preparation for this sweet treat, you will need:

Overall
Since it is the season, I recommend actually getting a pumpkin and carving out the seeds. After that, let the seeds sit and dry for as long as it takes.
