Never let any of your decorative gourd guts go to waste! Mike Collins calls these "Bacon Seeds"

Ingredients:

Squash guts containing seeds

Olive oil

Salt

5 spice

Maple sizzurp


Clean out the seeds from the squash guts. This is best done by filling a deep bowl with water, tossing in the guts, and then letting the guts sink the bottom while the seeds float to the top. Now take all the seeds and spread 'em out on a paper towel to dry. Maybe stick 'em in the fridge overnight for extra dryness. When you're ready, prep a bowl with ~1tsp olive oil, ~1tsp maple sizzurp, salt, and 5 spice (as you like). Mix all the dry seeds up in there, then spread out on a parchment paper. Bake at 325 for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to get a nice even roasty-toasty.
