"These days, I&amp;#x27;m a sucker for a snack that&amp;#x27;s spicy (as documented yesterday) and simple (the easier, the better). So this has been my go-to for the last few weeks... Spicy pumpkin seeds! My daughter got way, way into the jack-o-lantern carving this year--I think we had six pumpkins of every size and shape, each with the same off-kilter grin--so we had plenty of pumpkin-seed roasting opps. I don&amp;#x27;t mind telling you that I snuck off with some of the seeds. Maybe more than just &amp;quot;some.&amp;quot; Pumpkin seeds are filled with good stuff: iron, zinc, magnesium, manganese, and heart-healthy fats. To spice them up, just roast the way you normally would: toss them with a tablespoon of olive oil and spread out on a baking sheet. Add sprinkles of salt and the spice of your choice (I like green chile flakes, but red pepper or even cayenne pepper would be good, too). The bonus--for me, anyway--is that the strong spice ensures you probably won&amp;#x27;t eat an entire pumpkin&amp;#x27;s worth of seeds (a quarter of a cup is about 180 calories). Anybody else still in the season of pumpkin seeds? How do you like them: salty? Sweet? Spicy?
