Squash seed question

While preparing spaghetti squash I noticed the seeds look a lot like pumpkin
seeds which gave me the idea to roast them sometime. Has anyone done this
with spaghetti squash seeds or any other seeds besides pumpkin ones? I
haven't googled it yet, but they're probably edible, right?

BTW, DH's idea to test if they were edible was to give some to the dog and
see if she would eat them. Umm, right, the dog thinks dried out cat turds
from the litter box are edible...

not actually planning to use the dog for a guinea pig, DH was joking so
please don't get upset with me

They must be edible - here's a recipe for them.

I never thought about using them. I always ground them up in the garbabe
disposal.

Cool! thanks for looking that up for me. I made the best, easiest dinner
with the squash btw (2 servings).
Saute 8 oz. sliced mushrooms in some cooking spray, add 1 pkg of Boca
crumbles and cook until browned, add 1 cup of spaghetti sauce (Newman's
Sockarooni is my fave), and 1 cup of spaghetti squash that has already been
prepared in the oven. Heat until warmed. Top each serving with 1 oz.
reduced fat mozzarella cheese. 30% fat/37% carb/33% prot and approx 240-280
cal depending on the brand of sauce you use.
Fast, filling (6.5 g fiber), and definitely SBD friendly.

I've toasted the seeds from butternut squash - they are tasty (especially
when liberally salted) but somewhat less substantial than pumpkin seeds.
