After I scooped them out of the pumpkin I rinsed and dried them, added a little bit of olive oil and salt and stuck them in the oven for 10 minutes. Super simple and they looked great!
I packed them in an airtight container and brought them to work for a snack. Imagine my excitement when I finally tasted one and it tasted like POPCORN! Who doesn't love popcorn?
Pumpkin seeds are full of fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They're high in zinc which is good for your bones and they're a great source of magnesium which is great for your muscles.
Beware though - they are high in calories but the majority of the calroies come from proteins and fats so they will fill you up.
I'm pretty excited that I've found such a tasty snack that is nutritionally great, I'll definitely be roasting these up again.
