It’s been raining here on almost every weekend lately. So yesterday we finally got around to getting the girls a pumpkin to carve.
My 4 year old is grossed out by the “guts”, but my 2 year old loved sticking her hands in and pulling out the seeds. While they were carving, I was cleaning off the seeds to roast. I got all the stringy stuff off and then gave them a good rinse. After that, I set them out to dry overnight. Today I roasted them and they are so good. My house smelled like Fall. This recipe kind of reminds me of my Maple Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas.
These are pretty addicting. I made them in under 35 minutes. Real simple recipe.
