Curried Pumpkin Seeds

Maryeileen recently asked about roasting various Winter squash seeds so, since pumpkins are a Winter squash variety, I thought I should share this roasted pumpkin seed recipe with everyone :-) I don't remember where I found the original recipe but it works great for almost all Winter squashes.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg white
• 2 tsp. curry powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 cup fresh pumpkin seeds, cleaned and dried

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Whisk together the egg white, curry powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the pumpkin seeds and toss well. Drain off excess egg white in a colander and place seeds in a single layer in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet. Bake about 12 minutes or until the seeds are golden. Sprinkle with more curry powder and/or salt when they come out of the oven, if desired, and cool at room temperature.
