Roasted Squash Seeds - a simple vegan snack that uses up those squash seeds that typically get thrown out. These crunchy bites are a great protein-filled snack for any occasion.
Prep: Remove seeds from flesh, clean seeds, wash thoroughly, pat dry. Place seeds in bowl and drizzle with oil. Add seasonings and stir until well-coated.
Bake: Spread coated seeds on lined baking sheet, ideally with reusable baking mat. Roast for 20-35 minutes, stirring after about 15 minutes. Keep a close eye on them during the last 10-15 minutes so they don’t burn!
Crunch time: Let cool then enjoy immediately or store in an air-tight container!
