A friend of ours grows a rather large plot of spaghetti squash. Him and his wife give us several of them every year.
Last year we had a cold storage, but this year I had to prep the squash to be frozen, and I absolutely hate to waste anything, so decided to try out roasted spaghetti squash seeds.
They are SOOOOOO good!!! My husband and I both like them better than pumpkin seeds! They have almost a peanut buttery taste, but also mildly sweet. Add some spices on them and WOW they are GOOD!
The CONS:
- I only got about 1/2 cup of seeds per squash. But they could be frozen and saved up for a larger batch if you don’t happen to have half a dozen of them at a time! Or just make in small batches.
- It is a bit more work removing all the pulp then it normally is with a pumpkin. I emphasize a bit, it’s not too bad.
The PROS:
- OMG good!!!
- Simple to make and store.
- Healthy Snack Food!
- Flavor them any way you like!
Enjoy!!
