Winter Squash Seeds

Ensure seeds are completely dry before storing to prevent mold. Store in an airtight container.

Roast them plain with a little salt for a simple snack.

Toss them with spices like chili powder, cumin, or cinnamon for a flavor boost.

Sprinkle roasted seeds over salads, soups, yogurt, or oatmeal for added texture and flavor.

Grind them into a pesto or sauce base.

Salads

Soups (especially butternut or pumpkin)

Yogurt and granola

Oatmeal and porridge

Bread and baked goods

Not drying the seeds thoroughly after washing; this can lead to spoilage.

Over-roasting, which can make them bitter.

Not seasoning them before or after roasting.
