Choose the right pumpkin: Look for smaller pumpkins with deep orange flesh, as they tend to have more flavor and fewer seeds.
Roast the seeds in a single layer: This will ensure that they cook evenly and don't steam.
Use a variety of seasonings: Experiment with different combinations of spices and herbs to find your favorite flavor profile.
Don't overcook the seeds: Keep a close eye on them in the oven, as they can burn quickly.
Store the seeds in an airtight container: This will help them stay fresh and crispy for up to two weeks.
