Smoky cumin and toasted pumpkin seeds add delicious flavor to roasted acorn squash. You can also toast some extra seeds to use as a garnish for other Thanksgiving dishes. Toasting pumpkin seeds is super easy to do at home, and they're even tasty on their own as a snack. First, heat a heavy, large skillet over medium heat until the pan is hot. Add the seeds and shake the pan constantly (or keep stirring them) to prevent burning. You'll know the seeds are toasted when they look slightly golden and are aromatic. If you can’t find pumpkin seeds, substitute pine nuts instead.
