Fiery Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Ingredients

• 2 cups pumpkin seeds
• ¼ cup melted butter
• ½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 1 teaspoon cayenne
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Directions

1. Clean the seeds of pumpkin "strings" with water, then spread out to dry thoroughly before proceeding.
2. Drying will probably take a day, at least.
3. Preheat oven to 300 °F.
4. Combine melted butter with the Tabasco, cayenne, cumin and chili powder.
5. Place pumpkin seeds in a small bowl and pour butter mixture over; stir to coat seeds thoroughly.
6. Spread in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet.
7. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
8. Bake 45 minutes, stirring once to turn the seeds about half-way through baking.
9. Let cool completely — they'll be more crispy that way.
10. Store in air-tight container.
