Part of the fun of pumpkin carving is roasting and eating the seeds. You can do this at home with your kids or with a youth group/kids club that is having a pumpkin carving event.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 45 minutes for cleaning and baking
Here's How:
- Scoop the seeds of your pumpkin into a bowl. Clean the seeds as soon as possible. It is easier to clean them when they are still wet with the inside of the pumpkin. Use cold water.
- Dry the seeds with paper towels.
- Place on a cookie sheet in a single layer.
- Spray a light coating of non-stick cooking spray.
- Shake on some table salt.
- Bake at 325 degrees for about 25 minutes.
- Let cool and eat!
Tips:
- If you are doing it with a youth group, be sure to have enough cookie sheets to fill them as soon as the carving is done.
- Store in a plastic zip bag or put out in a bowl on your table for everyone to enjoy.
- How many times a week do you do something together as a family?(include dinner, going out together, family events, etc.)
