Fiery Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Ingredients

 * 2 cups pumpkin seeds
 * 1/4 cup melted butter
 * 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
 * 1 teaspoon cayenne
 * 1/2 teaspoon cumin
 * 2 teaspoons chili powder
 * 1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Directions
Clean the seeds of pumpkin"strings" with water, then spread out to dry thoroughly before proceeding.

Drying will probably take a day, at least.

Preheat oven to 300°F.

Combine melted butter with the Tabasco, cayenne, cumin and chili powder.

Place pumpkin seeds in a small bowl and pour butter mixture over; stir to coat seeds thoroughly.

Spread in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet.

Sprinkle with salt to taste.

Bake 45 minutes, stirring once to turn the seeds about half-way through baking.

Let cool completely-- they'll be more crispy that way.

Store in air-tight container.
