We love carving pumpkins in the fall. And part of that tradition is to make pumpkin seeds after we carve them. Pumpkin Seeds, believe it or not have many recipes. Traditionally, most people roast them and add salt. However, the sky is the limit. You flavor pumpkin seeds any way you want. 
Some people go from the pumpkin to the roasting pan. I like to clean them and boil them for about 5 minutes. It helps with the roasting if you boil them first.
Once you clean them, spread a thin layer on a cooking sheet. Line the sheet with aluminum foil for ease of cooking and removing the seeds. Lightly salt them and add the Slap Yo Mama season mix. (Any Louisiana Seasoning Mix will work) I actually like to put enough seasoning mix so that they are spread over the seeds evenly.
You want to roast the seeds at 250 - 300 degrees for about a half an hour. You can flip them and redo the seasoning mix or just continue to bake them until they are crunchy. Total cooking time is 45mins to an hr.
Let them cool and you have yourself a yummy fall treat.
