For extra flavor, try tossing the seeds with a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of your favorite hot sauce before roasting.
If your squash seeds are particularly large, you may need to increase the roasting time by a few minutes.
Store roasted squash seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

    These are so much better than store-bought pumpkin seeds! The maple syrup adds a really nice touch.
