Roasted Squash Seeds

One of the best parts about squash season is roasted seeds. They make such a great snack and are a good source for protein, calcium and zinc. We love roasting all of our squash seeds, not just pumpkin.

The most important step to getting crispy, crunchy seeds is to make sure they are completely dry. Lay them out on a towel and let them dry completely, a few hours or even overnight. You can save the dry seeds for a few weeks before roasting if you decide to save a large batch.

Delicata Seeds

The delicata seeds are so small and fun to eat. We like to stockpile our delicata seeds so we have a larger batch to roast (we typically roast seeds from 2-3 delicata squashes at a time).

INGREDIENTS:
Seeds from 1 or more delicata squash
Olive oil (or other oil)
Salt and any of your favorite herbs (we used Omnivore salt on one batch, but rosemary, garlic and cayenne would be good too!).

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Drizzle olive oil over the seeds and stir to coat. Sprinkle with salt and any other seasonings you desire. Roast for 15-20 minutes (or until golden brown), stirring a few times while cooking to ensure evenness.

Butternut Squash Seeds

INGREDIENTS:
Seeds from 1 (or more) butternut squash
Olive oil (or other oil)
Salt and any of your favorite herbs (we used Omnivore salt on one batch, but rosemary, garlic and cayenne would be good too!).

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Drizzle olive oil over the seeds and stir to coat. Sprinkle with salt and any other seasonings you desire. Roast for 15-20 minutes (or until golden brown), stirring a few times while cooking to ensure evenness.

Pumpkin Seeds

INGREDIENTS:
Seeds from 1 (or more) pumpkin
Olive oil (or other oil)
Salt and any of your favorite herbs (we used Omnivore salt on one batch, but rosemary, garlic and cayenne would be good too!).

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Drizzle olive oil over the seeds and stir to coat. Sprinkle with salt and any other seasonings you desire. Roast for 15-20 minutes (or until golden brown), stirring a few times while cooking to ensure evenness.
