Carving a Pumpkin? Make Dip

sounds like a delicious and healthy snack.  Will try, we still have a few pumpkins we didn't carve for halloween so we can still use the seeds.

my kiddos love hummus so I'll give this a try, yum

I make hummus almost every week and my whole family loves it!!  Since I often like to try something new, I will definitely try this exactly as the recipe describes, then another batch listening to a "little voice" that is telling me I may want to increase the amount of lime juice and decrease the broth!!

cool beans!  I will try this recipe but not tell my kids that it is cooked chickpeas!  I'll let you know how it goes over.

What a great way to try something new and healthy...also this year I have noticed great low prices on pumpkins almost everywhere I go!

If you've been looking for something to do with pumpkin seeds, try this:My mom always used to bake the seeds in the oven, in the shell. However, this is really not the best way because they come out hard. I would not recommend toasting the seeds in the shell. In fact, I wouldn't toast them at all. What the mexicans ususally do with pumpkin seeds is to fry them in oil (and sprinkle with salt, just as you would french fries). They come out crispy, nutty, and delicious!! I like them alone as a snack.

Oh, that sounds delicious.

Great idea! I hate throwing away all those great pumpkin seeds but I usually did because of not knowing what to do with them.

By Mary on 10/22/2009 3:54:58 PM

I am so excited to try this! I have quite a few event coming up that I will need to bring a snack to and this is perfect!!!!

This recipe fits into our annual pumpkin carving get together.  But now it is with the grandkids.  I have always baked the seeds after carving while little eyes looked on.  Alas, a new recipe with some of the seeds. Anxious to try it. Thanks and have a Happy Halloween!!!

Mmmmm, sounds yummy. I love hummus and this is a creative spin on it.

By Sarah on 10/20/2009 10:13:14 PM

this sounds like a good one to try.  you can often buy shelled pumpkin seeds at the grocery store

By Denise on 10/20/2009 8:27:16 PM

how do you shell pumpkin seeds? i toasted them first, can i still shell them?

By Joy on 10/20/2009 7:23:44 PM

Sounds good!  Will give it a try

By Tami on 10/20/2009 6:19:07 PM

This dip sounds great!  I am going to make this.  I think it would be good on a veggie sandwich too.

By Sandra on 10/20/2009 3:55:44 PM

Hum, you have failed to explain if you need to cook the seeds or leave them raw. Also, do you shell the seeds first (I have learned never to assume, and have dishes that call for them whole!)? While making pumpkin seeds is a treat my kids look forward to each year, there are probably several others who have never done it! You might want to add an explination or a link for answers! Also, for those who are not carving a pumpkin you can purchase pumpkin seeds much as you would sun flower seeds!
