The pumpkins that are the best for carving are not the best pumpkins for eating. They tend to be water, string and rather flavorless, as they are bred to be large and light, with the maximum surface area for carving and the minimum amount of "goop" (as termed by a very young neighbor) inside. All too often pumpkin seeds get tossed out with the rest of the pumpkin innards when a jack o' lantern is being carved out for Halloween and although the rest of the pumpkin isn't that appetizing, the seeds can be a tasty treat.
Pumpkin seeds need to be washed and dried before you start to work with them. Once they are clean, they can be prepared in one of two ways. The first method comes from Simply Recipes and involves boiling the seeds briefly in salted water before toasting them. The second method is much like the one used for the candied pecans I made last week, where the seeds are mixed with egg white and spices before being baked at 375F for about 12 minutes. This is the method used by Heidi at 101 Cookbooks and she provides three different spicing combinations to get you started, although you can use any sweet or spicy combination that strikes your fancy.

You eviscerate your jack-o', clean most of the goop off the seeds with your fingers, spread them out on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt. Stick 'em in an oven and you're done. The remaining goop on the seeds is perfect for making the salt stick, and adds a bit of toasty pumpkin flavor.
