Savory Pumpkin Seeds

Next time you’re cooking up a Thai inspired Pumpkin and Coconut Soup or carving jack-o-lanterns in the Fall, make sure to make the most out of your pumpkin by scooping out the seeds and using them for other recipes.

Once you clean up the seeds with water, heat some coconut oil in a large pan, toss them and start toasting over medium heat. Be careful not to burn them, seeds tend to roast quickly. Once they begin to brown, drizzle with soy sauce for a savory and unique flavor.

Remove from heat and store in an airtight container. Use your upgraded pumpkin seeds to top your Turmeric Rice Bowl or enjoy them as an on-the-go snack.
