Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease baking sheet or line with aluminum foil.
- In a bowl, mix pumpkin seeds with a small amount of olive oil (or butter, or lightly cover with cooking spray); use just enough oil so that they are just very lightly coated. Add salt and seasoning to taste, and mix so that seeds are fairly evenly coated.
