It\u2019s just one drink!\u201d or \u201cHave a piece of candy!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what so great about a pumpkin carving party. It doesn\u2019t need alcohol to be fun (although, I\u2019m sure a few would argue that it would help) and it takes some time and effort to carve up one of those suckers. Plus, it\u2019s kinda fun to sift through the gooey seeds so you can bake them up for later. Have you had hot pumpkin seeds fresh from the oven? They\u2019re awesome.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Plus here are some of the health benefits of pumpkin seeds:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>They\u2019re rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid) which helps lower bad LDL cholesterol and increase good cholesterol (HDL).<\/li>\n<li>They\u2019re high in calories but also a good source of protein. Approximately 100g of pumpkin seeds provides 556 calories but 30g of high quality protein.<\/li>\n<li>They can help you sleep AND de-stress. Pumpkin seeds contain tryptophan, a precursor to serotonin which helps aid sleep. They also contain glutamate which is needed by the brain to synthesize GABA, an anti-stress neurochemical.<\/li>\n<li>Pumpkin seeds are a great source of Vitamin E, a host of B-complex vitamins, and folates (also helping lower cholesterol and aid GABA activity in the brain).<\/li>\n<li>Pumpkin seeds also contain copper, manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium. These seeds are so rich in manganese that 100g contain 198% of daily recommended intake. (My experience has also taught me eating foods with manganese lessen my chocolate cravings so this is a great find for me.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Have I sold you on the benefits of pumpkin seeds? Cool.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can you make them, you ask? Easy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6265\" style=\"width: 267px; height: 400px; margin: 5px 10px; float: right;\" src=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/shutterstock64519030.jpg\" alt=\"halloween pumpkin, pumpkin carving, pumpkin seeds, healthy seeds\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/shutterstock64519030.jpg 600w, https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/shutterstock64519030-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><u>Prepping the pumpkin seeds:<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Separate the seeds from the stringy pumpkin insides.<\/li>\n<li>Put seeds in a bowl or colander and rinse under a faucet to remove any remaining pumpkin.<\/li>\n<li>Lay seeds out on paper towels to dry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><u>Baking the pumpkin seeds:<\/u><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.<\/li>\n<li>Toss seeds in a bowl with 2tsp of melted butter per 1 \u00bd cups of raw pumpkin seeds and add a pinch salt.
