About Spicy Toasted Squash Seeds
Winter squash, such as pumpkins, butternut squash, acorn squash yield tasty seeds for roasting. Please don’t throw the seeds away. Yes, they are a chore to clean, but it’s worth the effort, especially when you toss them with spices that usually are on hand in everyone’s cabinet.
The smell of cinnamon makes the brain associate with sweetness. This particular combination of spices smells a bit sweet and definitely spicy when roasting. Make sure you roast them until they are nicely browned. That will ensure that they are delicious and crunchy.
