Ingredients
  • Sugar or pie pumpkin (Baby Bear is another name)
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher Salt
  • Smoked paprika
  • Slivered almonds
Instructions
  1. Seed the pumpkin: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Using a spoon, scrape the pulp and seeds out of your pumpkin into a bowl.
  2. Clean the seeds: Separate the seeds from the stringy pulp, rinse the seeds in a colander under cold water, then shake dry. Don't blot with paper towels; the seeds will stick.
  3. Dry them: Spread the seeds in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet and roast 30 minutes to dry them out.
  4. Add spices: Toss the seeds with olive oil, salt, smoked paprika, and almonds (you can add the almonds before or after returning to the oven). Return to the oven and bake until crisp and golden, about 20 more minutes.
