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.

This recipe is good, except you definitley need to keep the seeds in longer to get them nice and crispy.

Tastes just like Mom used to make, only with a lower fat content because of the use of cooking spray vs. the cooking oil she used.

Roasted Pumpkin seeds at Halloween? Why, of course! Everyone can enjoy the crunchy, salty, goodness, and you can get the kids to do them with you-they love getting into the gooey stuff with their hands, and then get a great healthy snack too! HAPPY SPOOKY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
