Debating on whether or not to clean out your pumpkin for its seeds? I know it takes a little work, but it’s totally worth the effort! 

Pumpkin seeds are nutritional powerhouses and are so easy to roast. You can enjoy them on top of salads or toast, make a trail mix of sorts, or eat as a solo snack. They contain magnesium, which more than half of Americans are deficient in, protein and zinc! They also contain powerful antioxidants! Take a break from the candy , and try this easy recipe to satisfy your craving for something salty and sweet!
