Here's how:
When you are hollowing your pumpkin out, keep the insides in a big bowl. When you are finished carving, fill the bowl with water--this will help separate the seeds from the pumpkin flesh--the gooey orange stuff. After you have gathered all of the seeds (be patient, it could take a while) put them in a strainer and wash the rest of the gooey orange stuff off. Next, spread them out on a cookie sheet and let them dry. To accelerate the drying process, place them in a warm oven (120-150 degrees) or use a hair dryer.
After they are dry, season them as you please. Check out these different seasoning ideas.
Heat the seeds at 275 degrees for 10-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Make sure to stir them every five minutes. Once they are done, let them cool a little, and enjoy!
Here are the pumpkins the seeds I made came from. Mine is in the middle.
