How to roast crispy pumpkin seeds from a carved pumpkin, with garlic and salt. Easy tutorial by Nikka Ischelle

The seeds came out soooo delicious that I have to go and buy more pumpkins to make another batch for my family and friends! I used pumkin carving tools from the dollar store, a kitchen knife, and metal spoon to get a good scraping inside the pumpkin. The seeds were really easy to seperate from the squishy pulp inside too. I love the salty garlic flavor on the seeds, next time I’ll play around with different flavors. You may also use any kind of oil, I was out of olive so I used canola oil.
