Pumpkin Pie Spiced Pumpkin Seeds

These pumpkin pie spiced pumpkin seeds are a perfect fall treat. A version of pumpkin pie, these pumpkin seeds are nutritious, gluten-free & vegan.

Although this may not be a traditional dish to bring to your Thanksgiving celebration, I figured there's plenty of inspiration out there on the blogosphere right now, I would rather give you something unique and special. Like these pumpkin pie spiced pumpkin seeds.

If you're a canned pumpkin type of person, that's okay, but when you're whipping up your pumpkin pie this year I highly recommend switching gears and going with fresh pumpkin instead. Why? Not only does fresh pumpkin elevate the flavor and texture of your pumpkin pie, it's full of fabulously healthy and delicious seeds.

I know they throw some people off, but those guts inside your pumpkin might just be the best part. They feel totally disgusting, but pumpkin seeds are actually super easy to clean, and once roasted, they taste simply divine. Plus, pumpkin seeds are crazy healthy – low-calorie, high in fiber, and full of protein – so they're a perfect snack. Especially for Thanksgiving.
