Roasted Butternut Squash Seeds

As the winter squash season approaches, don’t let the seeds of your butternut, spaghetti, acorn, or other hard squashes go to waste. Instead, transform them into a crunchy and nutritious snack or salad topping, reminiscent of roasted pumpkin seeds. Simply toss the seeds with a blend of aromatic spices, such as chili powder, garlic powder, seasoned salt, or curry powder, and roast them to perfection in the oven. The result is a deliciously addictive treat that’s packed with healthy fats, protein, and fiber, making it an excellent addition to your favorite salads, soups, or enjoyed on its own as a satisfying crunch.
