If you're carving pumpkins in the next couple of days like I am, you will want to make sure to save those seeds! Most people are unaware of how to prepare seeds for roasting. The most important thing to do (that most people don't do), is to remove the shells from the pumpkin seeds. This is definitely time consuming, but well worth it.
1. Rinse seeds in a strainer with warm running water.
2. Lay the seeds out flat on a cookie sheet (note: do not lay them down on a paper towel as the seeds will stick to it when it dries). It will take a day or two to completely dry.

3. Remove the shells from all the pumpkin seeds (this is absolutely necessary for this special recipe - it could take a day or two as well, depending on how much time you can dedicate).
4. Preheat oven at 350ºF.
5. Very lightly, coat all the seeds with oil and salt.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they start to brown.
Enjoy!
