Ingredients:
- 1 cup of pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

After you've carved your Jack-O-Lantern, clean the seeds by wiping them with a clean cloth or paper towel. Toss the pumpkin seeds with the vegetable oil and spread evenly onto a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt and bake in a 400 degree oven for between 10 and 15 minutes, checking frequently.
If you like spicy seeds, add a dash of cayenne pepper after you sprinkle the salt.
Remove seeds from the oven when they are a golden brown color. Let them cool and then enjoy your snack.
