Pumpkins, pumpkin pie, pumpkin seeds! Need I say more!?! One of my favorite low carb snacks  are pumpkin seeds. So when my boys were obsessed with carving so many pumpkins this fall, I decided not to let the pumpkins seeds go to waste. This a very simple recipe and even my three year old loved eating them. Which to me, being a mom of a picky eater, is a mommy win! So let’s gear up to roast some pumpkin seeds!
