We are enjoying the post-Halloween calm. How about you? I discovered when my son was in preschool that he loves toasted pumpkin seeds! This is a wonderful Halloween or Fall after school snack. If you love roasted toasted pumpkin seeds then you will enjoy this tangy twist on a classic holiday treat.

Toasted garlic and lime pumpkin seeds are easy to make with this simple recipe:

You'll Need: 
1-1 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds (rinsed and dried)
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tsp lime juice
1/2 tsp garlic salt or garlic powder
pepper to taste

Rinsing and Drying Pumpkin Seeds:

• Scoop out your pumpkin seeds from inside the pumpkin, separating them fom the gooey insides. Place seeds in a colander. 
• Rinse the seeds until all the pumpkin "goo" is off. 
• Spread them over a flat baking sheet to dry over night.

• Once dry, put pumpkin seeds in a mixing bowl. 
• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a small bowl or glass pyrex 2 cup measuring cup
• Mix melted butter, lime juice, garlic salt and pepper. 
• Pour over pumpkin seeds, toss to coat all the seeds
• Spread the garlic-lime coated seeds on a foil lined baking sheet.

•  Bake at 300 degrees for 20 minutes plus, or until golden brown. *Oven heats vary, so watch your seeds closely. (I prob could have left mine in longer, I just couldn't wait to try them!)

• Once out of the oven, add a dash of garlic salt for a little extra garlic-y flavor.
• Serve and enjoy!
