Pan Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Most people like to roast their pumpkin seeds the old fashioned way, in the oven, but I find they’re much better and more flavorful when pan roasted, on the stove top, with butter. I promised, you will never go back to the old way again.

Tip - I find the easiest way to remove seeds from the inside of a pumpkin or squash is to use an ice cream scoop. Works like a charm.
