Fiery Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Ingredients

 * 2 cups pumpkin seeds
 * ¼ cup melted butter
 * ½ teaspoon Tabasco sauce
 * 1 teaspoon cayenne
 * ½ teaspoon cumin
 * 2 teaspoons chili powder
 * 1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Directions

 * 1) Clean the seeds of pumpkin "strings" with water, then spread out to dry thoroughly before proceeding.
 * 2) Drying will probably take a day, at least.
 * 3) Preheat oven to 300°F.
 * 4) Combine melted butter with the Tabasco, cayenne, cumin and chili powder.
 * 5) Place pumpkin seeds in a small bowl and pour butter mixture over; stir to coat seeds thoroughly.
 * 6) Spread in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet.
 * 7) Sprinkle with salt to taste.
 * 8) Bake 45 minutes, stirring once to turn the seeds about half-way through baking.
 * 9) Let cool completely — they'll be more crispy that way.
 * 10) Store in air-tight container.
