When you scoop out a pumpkin for baking or carving into a jack-o’-lantern, you probably throw out the seeds. Did you know you can make them into a delicious snack, instead? The taste of autumn will be in every bite: cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar to delight your tastebuds, and a pinch of cayenne to give the seeds just a bit of kick. They’re easy to make and easier to enjoy!

Chef's Tip


*To easily separate seeds from the pumpkin flesh, place seeds into a colander and rinse under cold running water. Dry pumpkin seeds in 185°F (85°C) oven for 30 minutes.

*Omit or halve the amount of cayenne if a less spicy snack is desired.
