Okay, here are the Pumpkin Seeds as mentioned in my Nemo Pumpkin post. I roasted the pumpkin seeds first and then added the ingredients listed below and roasted them again for a little bit so the seeds are well roasted, well done (because Chris likes them that way) and taste delicious!
I will admit that there is nothing quite like a feed of freshly roasted pumpkin seeds lol!

Here is a picture of the ingredients I used to make the flavouring for the seeds once they were pre-roasted.
To roast the pumpkin seeds, I laid them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and roasted them at 350 degrees for about an hour, shaking the pan about half way through so they were roasted evenly.
In a small bowl, I mixed together the ranch dressing mix, paprika, mustard powder and parmesan cheese.
I removed the seeds to a medium bowl then added the melted butter/margarine, ranch dressing, parmesan cheese, mustard powder and paprika mixture and mixed until all of the seeds were well coated in the mixture.
I put them back in the oven at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes, again shaking the pan partway through to ensure even roasting.
I let them cool and what wasn’t eaten that night, I stored in a plastic container with a tight fitting lid!

Looks delicious. I’ve tried to make them in the past. Never turned out very good. Seems like a no brainer but with me, ya never know. 😉
