Reserve the seeds from your butternut to make homemade roasted squash seeds! They make a delicious smoky garnish for this recipe and are also a great snack on their own: Separate the seeds from the pulp. Dry the clean seeds between clean kitchen towels or paper towels. Place the dried seeds on a large parchment-lined baking pan. Coat the seeds with cooking spray and season them with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Roast at 350℉, tossing a few times, until the seeds are lightly browned and they start to pop, about 10 to 15 minutes.
