Remove the seeds from the inside of the pumpkin; separate the seeds from the stringy pulp and discard the pulp. Rinse the seeds in a colander under cold water, removing any remaining pumpkin residue.
Spread the seeds out on a towel; pat dry. Allow them to air dry for a few hours or overnight to help to achieve crispy seeds.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Spread the seeds out evenly on a rimmed sheet pan and spritz all over with olive oil, season with salt.
Roast the seeds in the preheated oven for 20 - 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Stir or shake the pan every 5 minutes to ensure even roasting and to prevent burning. For crispier seeds, bake a little longer.
When done, remove from the oven; season with salt; cool on the baking sheet. The seeds will become crunchier as they cool.
Serving size is 1/4 cup. The amount of servings depends on the pumpkin.
