I’ve never been a fan of pumpkin carving. I think I did it once and that was at a friend’s birthday party in second grade. All the pumpkin innards are gross, and I am way too klutzy to be trusted with a large knife—Lord help me if I ever do become a chef.
Regardless, I found myself with all these pumpkin seeds to roast on Saturday. Instantly, I knew I wanted to try Mama Pea’s recipe for salt n’ vinegar pumpkin seeds. As big as my sweet tooth is, I really love salty and sour flavors, so these were screaming my name.
They were so simple, too! The only change I made was using white vinegar instead of balsamic.
My goodness. These are worse than Pringles and Frito Lays put together: Once you start snacking, you can’t stop. They’re perfectly sweet and sour. If you ever wonder what to do with pumpkin seeds, look no further than this recipe.
More addictive than pringles??? I have to try this!
I feel like I never quite get roasted pumpkin seeds right– they’re either over or under done. But these look worthy of giving it another go 🙂
Thanks Evan! I may pick up some raw seeds at the store today so I can make a batch again. They are so good!
I made pumpkin seeds last year w/ the pumpkin i carved and I admit, I was not really that into them. They were “okay” but not over the top.
The problem is that the seasonings I used…they didnt really stick to the seeds and so the seeds were bland. I need to try vinegar first, that could totally solve my problems.
Glad you loved your seeds!
I love pumpkin seeds and was totally intrigued by Mama Pea’s recipe but I didn’t get a pumpkin..think I will try it out with one of the squashes sitting on my counter!
My teenage daughter is a salt and vinegar chip fanatic and this sounds right up her ally! I’m so bookmarking this to make for her :o) Thanks for sharing!
Things I love- salt and pepper chips AND pumpkin seeds. Now I just need to find me a pumpkin…
MMM a new flavor!! I made cinnamon sugar ones a couple weeks ago. These sound great 🙂
