Soak them in salty water for a couple of hours, then put them on a lightly greased pan and bake until slightly brown.

After you get the seeds out of the pumpkin, soak them in a bowl of room temperature water for at least 5 hours.

Then take a cookie sheet - spray with Pam, and spread seeds on sheet.

Salt them with POPCORN SALT.

Bake at 350 - not for long. Only takes 10 minutes or less.

2 cups pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons light cooking oil (vegetable, peanut, or other)
1 teaspoon spice (cayenne, garlic powder, cumin, curry, or any favorite)
1 teaspoon salt

Heat oven to 350. Remove seeds from pumpkin and rinse with water to remove any remaining pulp. Dry seeds between two paper towels. Mix oil with spices and/or salt and toss mixture with seeds.

Spread seeds over a baking sheet. Bake seeds approximately 30 minutes or until crisp and very lightly browned, tossing occasionally.

Clean the pumpkin seeds. TOss with a little melted BUTTER (no substitutes), a tiny bit of salt and cinnamon (optional). Toast in the oven at 400.
