Roasted pumpkin seeds are a great way to make your jack-o-lantern do double duty this Halloween.  Not only are they delicious and an easy fun snack that your kids can help make they are high in protein, iron, zinc, and magnesium, and rich in ALA, an omega-3 fatty acid.

Here’s how to roast them:
Wash seeds off and spread them out in a single layer in a baking dish or pie plate; bake in a low oven (250 degrees) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until well dried.

You can also drizzle them with olive oil and broil with a dusting of salt and pepper- but beware, they can go from delish to burnt to a crisp in a short amount of time so keep your eyes on them!
