Since I've been in the mood for everything Pumpkin lately and was cooking up a storm in the kitchen with all recipes involving pumpkin seeds, I wanted to do a quick post about my Top 5 pumpkin seed recipes. They are so versatile and can be used in so many various ways, I searched and narrowed down my top 5 picks and wanted to share them with you all!
- Seasoned & Roasted Pumpkin Seeds: I love the whole idea of carving your own pumpkin and using the seeds inside, seasoning and roasting them yourself! Personally, I love seasoning the seeds with either cinnamon and sugar or something more zesty like onion and garlic powder. I found some great options here for roasting your own pumpkin seeds.
- Pumpkin Seed Granola - Of course, since I just made a Pumpkin Maple Pecan Granola for Motivation Monday, this is at the top of my list! It is not only incredible easy to make and the perfect snack, it also just takes like Fall. Check out my recent post for the recipe, here.
3. Butternut Squash & Quinoa Salad + Pumpkin Seeds - Like I said, I am definitely drooling over all things pumpkin or pumpkin seeds and this is another fantastic recipe! It is extremely healthy with super food quinoa, filled with protein, essential amino acids and its gluten free as well as with bits of sweet and savory throughout. You can find the recipe, here.
4. Pumpkin Seed Pesto - Ok, now I am just trying to find a way to incorporate pumpkin seeds into anything, but isn't this a great spin on a pesto? I think it sounds amazing and can't wait to try! I found the recipe here, and the best part, its healthy and its vegan!
5. Almond Pumpkin Seed Butter - Last, but definitely not least, this pumpkin seed butter with honey and cinnamon sounds absolutely amazing and I can't wait to eat it with all of the upcoming Fall cookies, scones, toast, and just everything! I found the recipe here, and hope you guys love it as much as I do!
