Crispy toasted pumpkin seeds are a healthy, flavorful snack.

Part of the fall tradition in Rebecca Kolls' family is to carve out the pumpkin and toast the seeds inside. If you've never tried them, you have no idea what you are missing. So Rebecca provides a very simple recipe for you to try.

Ingredients:
pumpkin
melted butter
Dijon or honey mustard
teriyaki sauce

The first thing you need to do, of course, is to clean out the pumpkin and wash the seeds off. Place them on a paper towel and let them drain.

Then take a cookie sheet that's lined either with parchment or foil, and spread out the seeds on the sheet. Place the seeds in an oven, and cook them at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

While the seeds are baking, you can go ahead and prepare the sauce. Put a little bit of melted butter in the bottom of a large bowl. Add either Dijon or honey mustard and then some teriyaki. Mix it well. Add the toasted seeds to the mixture. Keep in mind the amount of each ingredient is up to your taste buds and will vary on the amount of seeds.

Once all the seeds are coated, drain well and place the seeds back in the oven and toast until crispy.
