Smoked Pumpkin Seeds –

Making Smoked pumpkin seeds after Halloween can be a great use of any leftover pumpkin seeds! After Halloween, you can try seasonal flavors like cinnamon sugar or spicy BBQ, or stick with classic smoky seasonings such as smoked paprika and garlic powder. Every year I grow a lot of pumpkins. I save the seeds to plant next year, but it is also nice to have some to snack on. After trying these seeds in the smoker, I may have to grow more pumpkins so that we have more seeds. We use our grills and smokers throughout the entire winter, even though we live in Minnesota.

Smoked Pumpkin Seeds can be used as a snack or in salads and soups. This recipe is a delicious way to use up your pumpkins after cooking or carving them. The seeds are infused with a subtle yet distinct taste that pairs well with savory or spicy seasonings.

The smoking process infuses the seeds with a subtle yet distinct taste that combines well with savory or spicy seasonings, creating a unique snack.
