Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Carve a pumpkin with your children and then have fun making this special recipe. A serving of pumpkin seeds is 1/4 cup.

Special Extra

Prepare as directed, omitting the salt and choosing one of the following flavorings to toss with each 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds before roasting. Spicy: 2 tsp. GOOD SEASONS Dressing Mix. (Try Italian, Cheese Garlic or Asian Sesame Flavor.) Sweet: 2 tsp. maple syrup and 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon. Increase baking time to 8 to 10 min. or until golden brown. Cool in pan. Break apart if necessary. Cheesy: 4 tsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese. Make all the different flavors and serve at your next Halloween party.

Food Facts

When buying your pumpkin, make sure it has a level bottom and one smooth unblemished side for the jack-'o-lantern's face. Children can take part by drawing the jack-'o-lantern's face with a permanent marker before the adult cuts it out. Store the pumpkin outside until it is ready to be carved.

Your recipe sounds very easy up until the point of shelling the seeds. In a batch of pumpkin seeds, your looking at standing there and shelling hundreds of seeds, one by one by one by one. No thank you! Just let those bad bears dry and pop um in the oven.

Mmmm..... reminds me of when I was a kid! I like my seeds a little more crispy so I cooked them longer, but otherwise a quick easy way to turn your pumpkin carving mess into a snack!
