It's nearly Halloween! When you have finished carving that Jack O'Lantern...it's time for: Toasted Pumpkin Seeds After you've scooped the seeds from a pumpkin, rinse them under water and remove all the membrane fibers. Blot the seeds with paper towels. Spread them out to dry for at least 3 hours. Toss with a tablespoon of olive oil and place in a single layer on a heavy baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350F oven, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with salt, chile or curry powder or grated Parmesan cheese. (Of course, you Chile-Heads will know what to do to add a little zip!!)
