Notes
One medium pie / sugar pumpkin will yield about one cup seeds, however you'll get a lot more from a jack-o'-lantern style pumpkin. Size the recipe up (or down), depending on how many seeds you have. For best results, spread the seeds in a single layer with a little space between them before roasting. Use two sheet pans instead of one, if you have lots of seeds. Make sure to stir the seeds every five minutes as they bake. This helps them cook evenly, so every seed gets crispy.
