When carving this year's Halloween jack-o'-lantern, save the seeds. Fresh-from-the-gourd pumpkin seeds are white and unhulled, making them a little tougher but still delicious.
When carving this year�s Halloween jack-o�-lantern, save the seeds. Fresh-from-the-gourd pumpkin seeds are white and unhulled, making them a little tougher but still delicious. Natural foods stores sell hulled, dusky-green pumpkin seeds, called pepitas, both raw and roasted. Refrigerate and use within a month or two. Pumpkin seeds provide magnesium and manganese, as well as protein and zinc.
Roasting enhances pumpkin seeds� sweet, buttery flavor. To roast fresh ones, rinse and massage to remove pumpkin pulp, roll in a towel to dry, and spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with olive oil and sea salt, plus any savory or sweet flavors that suit your fancy; experiment with paprika, maple syrup, cinnamon, Cajun spice, or powdered rosemary.
Roast at 325 degrees, stirring occasionally, for 30�45 minutes, until toasted.
Sprinkle pumpkin seeds atop green salads or steamed vegetables; stir into rice pilaf or risotto. Or grind the seeds in a food processor; mix with olive oil and sherry vinegar for a healthy salad dressing, or stir into dips and hummus to boost good fats.
