Toasted Squash Seeds

[ndrosen]

For many moons, I have been saving the seeds in bags in the freezer when I cooked acorn squash, with the intention of someday toasting them, which is something I have formerly done. On Wednesday, I took a whole bunch of baggies out of the freezer, emptied the seeds into a pan, and put it in the oven. It took some time and occasional stirring, but I ended up with toasted seeds.

Now, any time I want a bit of a high-protein snack while I’m waiting for dinner to be cooked or something, I have those seeds.
