This Halloween, before you ditch the guts of your jack-o'-lantern or hand-carved pumpkin, remember that with the pumpkin seeds you can prepare the following snack, which helps lower cholesterol and promotes good prostate health.
In addition, it is a good source of protein and fiber, which is why it will be a great snack for you if you are trying to lose weight.
Ingredients:
2 cups of pumpkin seeds previously washed and dried
1/2 tablespoon of olive oil
2 teaspoons of spices to choose
Salt to taste
Addresses:
Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin seeds with oil, salt, and spices.
Spread the seeds on the baking sheet evenly, so that they form a single layer.
Bake for 20 minutes, until the seeds are crisp, moving the pan every few minutes as they are toasted.
Remove the tray from the oven and add more spices to your pumpkin seeds if desired.
Note: Don't be afraid to get creative with spices, which are metabolism boosters. Our advice is to add cinnamon, a little brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon so that it has a flavor between sweet and spicy.
