Roasted squash seeds make an easy snack or salad topping! Winter squash seeds are roasted to crunchy perfection, with a lightly sweet & salty seasoning you'll love.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the seeds from sticking to the pan.
Remove any squash pulp from the seeds and transfer them to a fine mesh sieve. Rinse them well with water.
Transfer the seeds to a towel and pat dry, removing as much moisture as you can. Add the dried seeds to a small bowl, and toss with the olive oil, coconut sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Pour the coated seeds on the prepared baking pan, and spread them out into a single layer. Roast for 18 to 20 minutes, until your kitchen begins to smell fragrant and they look a little more golden. The seeds won't be crunchy until they cool, so I recommend pulling them out of the oven by 20 minutes, regardless.
Cool completely on the pan, then serve them as a snack or salad topping. If you're not going to use the seeds right away, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They will start to become sticky if they sit out at room temperature for too long, but they stay crisp when you store them in the fridge. Leftovers can be stored for up to 1 week when chilled.
