Despite the looks on their faces, we had fun. I can't wait until Alex brings home some pumpkins so we can carve them, something he doesn't totally understand because they apparently don't make Jaco-o-lanterns in Slovakia. He had fin when we did it last year! Anyhow, here's a simple recipe for roasting the seeds. You can add spices or flavorings if you want. I like lots of salt and pepper.
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
seeds from your carved pumpkin(s)
Rinse your pumpkin seeds, then toss in a Tablespoon or two of olive oil. Spread on a cookie sheet in a mostly single layer (I line the cookie sheet with foil so I don't have to wash it after) and sprinkle with lots of salt and pepper. Bake in a 350 oven for 20-30 minutes until seeds start to brown, stirring once or twice.
