Ingredients
1/2
cup
seeds (from acorn squash, butternut squash, or spaghetti squash)
2

coconut oil, or olive oil would work as well
1/4
tsp
chili powder
1/8
tsp
cinnamon
1/4
tsp
sea salt
1/4
tsp
garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°
Scoop seeds from inside of squash
Rinse seeds to remove squash bits, and dry well using a kitchen towel
Spread out in a single layer on a cookie sheet
Coat with oil and spices and roast for 20-30 minutes or until just starting to turn brown
Notes

If you can't remove all of the squash bits from the seeds the recipe will still work. The squash adds more flavor
