Roasted Pumpkin + Seeds

+

Two simple recipes from a little organic pumpkin.

Roasted pumpkin:

Oven to 400 degrees F

Cut the pumpkin in half and removed seeds (to make below recipe :))

Drizzle with a bit of oil (olive and coconut both work swell) and any other spices you may want.

Place inside faceDOWN on oiled/sprayed baking pan/dish, etc.

Bake for approximately 35-50 minutes depending on size. It’ll be REALLY soft (skin included) and taste yum.

I brought down the temperature to 350 after 40 minutes, fyi.

Roasted pumpkin seeds:

Oven to 350 degrees F

Take scooped seeds from of pumpkin and place seeds on a oiled/sprayed baking sheet.

Drizzle with oil. I recommend virgin, unrefined coconut oil because that can withstand heat temperatures up to 350 degrees F.

Add some spices, pumpkin spices are good for sweet and curry is good for savory. I actually did curry and cloves, because I like to try out different flavor combos.

Bake for about 20-30 minutes, until seeds have slightly browned and are crunchy (just taste ’em throughout). Stir them every 10-15 minutes to get even cooking and to see if they’re done.

Let cool and eat.
