The following recipe was created in collaboration with Lauren Schulte. To see more of her bites and meals, visit her Instagram @TheBiteSizePantry.
It’s a time-honored tradition to carve pumpkins for homemade porch décor every fall, but when the spooky season approaches, you can find me in the kitchen whipping up a batch or two of roasted pumpkin seeds.
When it comes to roasting these bite-size seeds, a good sprinkle of salt is often all you need, but since this season only comes once a year, I decided to up the flavor ante with three new spice blends.
Sweet and savory, my Salt and Vinegar, Pumpkin Spice and Dilly Ranch seasonings are simple to mix and addicting to eat all season long.
