With Halloween coming up, and a pumpkin being carved, there are seeds to be used up! So why not a healthy spicy snack?

I found someone who’d tested good ways to toast them up, so I’m following this: http://www.themanlyhousekeeper.com/2011/10/26/tested-the-best-way-to-roast-pumpkin-seeds/

So they get boiled in water and salt to start with.

Then coated in a mix of:

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp smoky chilli powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp salt

Then onto a baking tray.

Then it’s 20mins at 200c fan, with a good mix around 10mins in.

Then it’s onto a plate to cool.

Well not all of them cooled! And those ones were really spicy – nom!
