The only thing better than a triple mushroom, bbq pumpkin burger is a batch of delicious smokey pumpkin seeds.
Split open a fresh pumpkin very carefully!
Pull all the seeds out of the pumpkin and rinse in a colander. Massage with your fingers to eliminate most of the pumpkin fiber. Rinse one last time...
Transfer to a bowl and shake on your favorite savory season blends. This batch was flavor-blasted with a combo of smoked paprika, Penzeys bbq 3000 and Penzeys smokey seasoned salt. Maybe a 1/4 cup for a large pumpkins worth of seeds.
Spread over a foil-lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 for 15 minutes until they are nice and crunchy. Use a spatula to remove and let cool.
Eat them shell and all!
Lillie can't stop snacking!
Your blog ROCKS!! I'm adding you to my sidebar. I love all the experiments of new foods with the kids. The presentation of the "pumpkin burger" is hilarious, can I post it with a link to you when I get back from vacation?
