Ginger is a plant with leafy stems and yellowish green flowers. The ginger spice comes from the roots of the plant.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

1) Clean the pulp off the pumpkin seeds (or squash seeds), and dry with paper towels.

2) If desired, toss with a little olive or other oil. You only need enough to barely coat, otherwise, they will be greasy.

3) Add salt and any kind of seasoning you want – garlic powder, Cajon seasoning, dried chile powder, or whatever sounds good to you! “Try using a light oil and sprinkling a little cinnamon on the pan and the surface. You can add cane or brown sugar to make a sweet crunchy desert!”

4) Cover a baking sheet with foil and spread the seeds out in one layer.

5) Bake for 3-5 minutes, until seeds just start to color and smell really nice.

Sometimes I use a longer but safer method of using a lower temperature. If you roast the seeds at 250 degrees F., you don’t have to watch them as carefully. It takes about 45 -60 minutes.
