Ingredients:
2 cups pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
Directions:
Clean the seeds of pumpkin”strings” with water, then spread out to dry thoroughly before proceeding.
Drying will probably take a day, at least.
Preheat oven to 300 F.
Combine melted butter with the Tabasco, cayenne, cumin and chili powder.
Place pumpkin seeds in a small bowl and pour butter mixture over; stir to coat seeds thoroughly.
Spread in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet.
Sprinkle with salt to taste.
Bake 45 minutes, stirring once to turn the seeds about half-way through baking.
Let cool completely– they’ll be more crispy that way.
Store in air-tight container.
