This week’s post a little outdated since I have been keeping it since October 🙊, but I really want to share it because it is very easy to make. I am referring to toasted or roasted pumpkin (or squash) seeds, which I made from the leftovers of my Halloween pumpkins. Español aquí.
As you may suspect, pumpkins are native to North America and therefore difficult to find in Peru. However, I propose an alternative for my friends in Lima, use squash seeds. As they are both from the same family, they make a delicious and healthy snack. They are known to be a source for protein, zinc, and magnesium.
Now that I am spending more time at home I am thinking about making this again because I’m always hungry. Does it happen to you? Next time I hear the ice cream man I will be ready to jump out of the window.
