This recipe is inspired by the October 2017 edition of relish magazine that comes with our local newspapers. I have modified it to bring the sodium content down from 748 mg. per serving to 308 mg per serving.

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Rinse seeds and pat dry. Place seeds in a bowl. Measure 1/2 teaspoon of healthy oil; pour over the seeds. Mix gently until well combined. Spread seeds evenly on the parchment paper so that they do not touch. Bake in oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once after 10 minutes, until seeds are crispy brown. Allow to cool before using in salad.
