Can you feel it? Fall is finally in the air!
Have you begun your fall festivities with your family yet? If not, you can grab a beautiful list of child-friendly, cheap activities to do with your children here.
Lennox and I have already done quite a bit of fall activities. We made fall crafts, did some fall shopping, fall cooking, and we went on a fall scavenger hunt!
We even did our pumpkin carving already!
Afterwards, we made two delicious homemade roasted pumpkin seed recipes. They were so delightful that I am going to share the recipe with you today! Enjoy!

Why roast pumpkin seeds?
Carving pumpkins is a must-do fall activity, but what do you do with the extracted seeds?
We eat them, and boy, are they tasty! I am actually about to head out after I write this post to buy more pumpkins because we already finished all of our seeds.
Not only are they tasty, but they are full of antioxidants, healthy fats, magnesium, and zinc.[1]
What do you do with your pumpkin seeds once you carve your pumpkin? Do you throw them out, use them for crafting, plant them? Drop a comment below and let me know =)
For both of these recipes, I used raw pumpkin seeds from one large pumpkin. I split them in half, and it yielded around four cups of seeds. For each recipe, I used approximately two cups of pumpkin seeds. Enjoy =)

I LOVE roasting pumpkins after our pumpkin carving expeditions. We always stick to the usual olive oil, salt, pepper and some Cayenne. I can't wait to give these a try! Especially the maryland one, I've never tried that!

Yum! I have never tried Cayenne on pumpkin seeds. I'm definitely giving this a try next time!

This brings back memories! I haven't roasted pumpkin seeds since I was a kid, but this makes me want to. And the lime part was interesting, I'd never done that; we'll have to try it soon.
