Tips & Warnings

• Check the pork chops for doneness every 5 minutes or so after 40 minutes. Pierce them with a fork and knife. They are done when they are no longer pink in the center.
• You can buy pumpkin seeds if you don't want to make your own (but if you do, see "How to Bake Pumpkin Seeds").
• As an alternative, combine the ground pumpkin seeds with bread crumbs.
