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.
