Many vegetable seeds such as butternut squash, spagetti squash, pumpkin etc. can be roasted for an easy and healthy snack While chopping the vegetable, set the seeds aside. Wash and dry them thoroughly on a paper towel. Coat with olive oil and season the seeds with your choice – keeping it very simple – salt, pepper or chilly powder. Roast in a hot oven. I usually leave such snacks on the kitchen island and my boys pickup handfuls as they walk by and before you know it, they are all gone.
