Variations:

• Best Results: This recipe was created and tested using fresh pumpkin seeds, but you can use leftover seeds from any type of squash.
• No Fresh Seeds: Use store-bought raw pumpkin seeds instead. Since they have already been dried, cut the time in the oven down to 30 minutes.
• Storage: Once completely cooled, store in an air-tight container at room temperature.
