All the delicious pumpkin seed recipes you can make with your jack-o'-lantern's guts

So you've carved your pumpkin into some semblance of that really complicated pattern you printed off Pinterest, but now what? 

You have a bucket full of pumpkin slop and seeds, and that pumpkin was too expensive to just throw away most of the insides. Just like your decorative gourds, you can eat your pumpkin guts in the tastiest celebration of the season. Here's what to do.

Roasted pumpkin seeds

The most obvious and traditional use for all those seeds: Roast up a big batch and season them with everything from Lawry's seasoning salt to matcha powder for a variety of flavors to keep you intrigued through November. Of course, you can also use your basic, salted seeds to add crunch to everything from soups to salads to roasted winter vegetables. Get the recipe here.
