the perfect snack, lots of fiber and protein in these nutty and fragrant winter squash seeds
Homemade, lightly salted, roasted Garlic & Oregano Winter Squash Seeds. Try to be as waste-less as possible when it comes to cooking. These seeds came from the inside of a beautiful winter squash. Try to get yourself into the habit of using as much as a fruit or vegetable as possible. Instead of throwing out the innards of some gorgeous winter squash I was cooking with, I decided to keep the seeds and make this delicious snack. Squash seeds are a great source of fiber, which aid in digestive health and lowering cholesterol, as well as plant-based protein. They also provide vitamins A & C, folate, potassium, calcium, and iron. You can be quite creative when making these seeds and experiment with different flavors of your own making.
