    Every salad needs some crunch. Every bowl of soup needs a garnish.

    These Spiced Pumpkin Seeds made tasty toppings for my bowl of Carrot-Ginger Soup this week. It's the season for my favourite fall foods:  homemade soup, cornbread, roasted root vegetables everything apple, and of course, pumpkin!

    These spicy pepitas are quick and easy to make. Toss them with a little melted butter, ground coriander, chipotle and coarse sea salt and roast them in the oven until they just began to crackle and pop.

    They're great as a garnish and they're delicious by the handful, too.

        I was reaching for the smoked paprika in my spice cupboard when I saw the chipotle. I'm glad I changed my mind!
