1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. olive oil
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

3. Put seeds in a strainer and rinse.
4. Drop rinsed seeds into a bowl or plastic container and soak for a few minutes.
5. Separate squash seeds from squash flesh/strings.
6. Dry on paper towels.
7. Mix spices, seeds and olive oil.
