Sugar & Spice Squash Seeds

Remove the squash guts from the seeds, then place the seeds into a bowl of cold water to soak for 15 minutes.

Drain off the water, then place seeds onto sheets of paper towels to dry. This may take up to one hour, so alternatively you may place them on a baking sheet in an oven heated to 175 degrees F for 5-10 minutes, or until dry. Then remove from the oven.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Place seeds into a bowl and spray lightly with olive oil spray. Add seasonings and salt to coat.

Evenly distribute seeds onto a baking sheet that has been prepared with olive oil spray. Bake in the 300F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly brown and crisp.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes prior to storing in an airtight container.
