Elevate Halloween pumpkin seeds with smoky bacon, spicy cayenne, and a quick broil after an overnight flavor soak.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups raw cleaned whole pumpkin seeds
  • 0.5 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
  • 1 tablespoon bacon grease
  • 0.75 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
  • 1.5 tablespoons cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon garlic salt
  • salt to taste
Instructions:
  • Combine pumpkin seeds with Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, bacon grease, and liquid smoke in a lidded container. Let sit overnight.
  • Preheat the broiler and adjust oven rack to 6 inches below the heat source.
  • Using a slotted spoon, scoop out the seeds from the flavorings and place them in a bowl. Add cayenne pepper and garlic salt to the seeds and mix well. Spread the seasoned seeds evenly on a baking sheet and sprinkle with a bit more salt.
  • Broil the seeds until they turn golden brown, around 8 minutes, flipping them twice. Allow them to cool to room temperature before using.
