Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Some pumpkins, like the Venus fly trap, are carnivorous plants

TWSF carved our 22lb pumpkin over the weekend and decided to depict the eating habits of the rare cannibalistic rural Virginian species of  pumpkin. We were left with a bunch of seeds after the carving and decided to make roasted pumpkin seeds because at TWSF we never let a unique cooking opportunity pass us by.

Ingredients
One Pumpkin
2 teaspoons melted butter
Salt to taste

Directions
1. Scrape the innards from the pumpkin and separate the seeds from the guts.
2. Rinse the seeds under water in a colander.
3. Let the seeds dry on a paper towel
