I love Halloween! When I was younger I trick-or-treated until my junior year in high school, not just for the candy but I had so much fun getting dressed up! Now I love seeing all of my friend’s kids in their costumes and going to Halloween parties!
I used to eat a lot of candy around the holidays, especially Halloween. Now my vice is raw chocolate (there is no sugar in it) and green smoothies 🙂
Sugar is very addicting and once you start eating it your body starts craving more. I know the temptations are everywhere, every store you go into has displays of candy front and center. It is hard to walk by without tossing a bag of candy into your shopping cart.
Here is one of my favorite fall snacks! Pumpkin seeds are full of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins and easy to make!
Grocery List:
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin seeds
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Pick Your Spice! A dash of:
- salt (optional)
- garlic powder (optional)
- cayenne pepper (optional)
- seasoning salt (optional)
- cajun seasoning (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Wash the pumpkin seeds under cold water. While it’s OK to leave some strings and pulp on your seeds (it adds flavor) clean off any major chunks.
- Toss pumpkin seeds in a bowl with the oil and spice of your choice.
- Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on baking sheet.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
- Enjoy!
What was your favorite Halloween costume as a child?
