It’s the perfect time of year to try roasted pumpkin seeds, especially if you crave salty snack foods. Skip the refined grains and trans fat that often plague crackers and go for a healthy, chewy crunch instead. And best of all, there’s plenty of power behind the crunch. A quarter cup of pumpkin seeds supplies your diet with vitamins and minerals like magnesium, iron, zinc and protein. Roast your own or buy them - that way you can spice them the way you like them. Try tossing your healthy snack of roasted pumpkin seeds with chili powder or garlic and Worcestershire sauce.
