Recipie for Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds are high in plant sterols and phytochemicals. They aid in lowering cholesterol and promoting good prostate health. On top of that, they're also a good source of protein, fiber, potassium, and magnesium.



Ingredients
2 cups pumpkin seeds
2 teaspoons canola oil
Salt to taste
Optional seasonings to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, toss pumpkin seeds with canola oil and salt. (At this stage also add any additional seasonings to the mix)
3. Spread pumpkin seeds evenly onto a baking sheet in one layer.
4. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the seeds are crisp, stirring every few minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and if desired, re-season to taste.

Tip: Remove pulp by rinsing the seeds through a strainer. Also, make sure the seeds are completely dry before roasting.
