Place one butternut squash or pumpkin into a baking tray with an inch of water. Let it bake at 200 degrees celcius for 45 minutes or until tender.
When ready remove it from the oven. Cut it in half and scrape out all the seeds. Scoop out 2 cups of the pumpkin and set it aside to cool.

Put your soaked cashews in the blender with the water and blend until completely smooth. Then add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.

How to roast crispy pumpkin seeds from a carved pumpkin, with garlic and salt. Easy tutorial by Nikka Ischelle

The seeds came out soooo delicious that I have to go and buy more pumpkins to make another batch for my family and friends! I used pumkin carving tools from the dollar store, a kitchen knife, and metal spoon to get a good scraping inside the pumpkin. The seeds were really easy to seperate from the squishy pulp inside too. I love the salty garlic flavor on the seeds, next time I’ll play around with different flavors. You may also use any kind of oil, I was out of olive so I used canola oil.
