Smoked Paprika Pumpkin seeds

[Arch]

I had a Butternut Squash during the week, so I saved the seeds, washed and dried them, and today I coated them in olive oil, and sprinkled them with smoked paprika and sugar and roasted them for 15 mins at about 140C.

I used about the same amount of paprika and sugar (I didn't measure, I just sprinkled), and I think they could stand a little more paprika, but they are very moreish! I got the idea from someone at work who made popcorn with the same mix, and that was more than moreish, it was downright addictive!

These are very very nice! Difficult to eat in moderation.

It's lucky that each squash only has a finite number of seeds in!

I think they are probably best eaten fresh anyway, while they are crunchy.
