Toasted Pumpkin Seeds and Pepitas

Oct 31, 2009 (updated Aug 21, 2025) (2 Comments)

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

Happy Halloween! Here are two recipes for toasted pumpkin seeds. One with kosher salt and one with spices. Both are tasty so it just depends on how spicy you like them. And the picture of the masked duo (below) is my boys from Halloween 2002. The Spiderman movie was very popular back then, and rather than have two Spidermen, my younger one opted to balance out the representation. What a guy!

When my kids were growing up, Halloween was a two week celebration. My younger son has been all kinds of scary creatures, participating in the Nightmare at Beaver Lake. It's a wonderful way to get scared, the kids get community service credits, and the proceeds go to worthy causes around the community and the world.

Tip If you don't like the white hull, you can buy pepitas, which are sold without the hulls on them. Check out my favorite recipe for toasted pepitas, chili lime pepitas. The recipe is posted below as well. Enjoy!

    I just saw that somewhere recently - that would only work with real sugar and cinnamon together. Yum.

    The best part of carving a pumpkin is harvesting the seeds! I recently made a batch sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. It was delish!
