Toasted Squash Seeds

Squash seeds can be toasted in the oven for a crunchy, salty snack. Toasted pumpkin seeds are the most commonly eaten in today’s United States, but any squash seeds can be used. Squash has historically been one of the staples of Native American agriculture, including among the Sioux. Butternut and acorn squash are varieties that yield especially tasty seeds for toasting. The seeds are removed from the interior of the squash and cleaned before being baked and lightly salted.
