Instructions

With a really sharp knife cut Pumpkins in half.
Using a spoon, scoop all of the seeds and place them in a bowl.
Using your hands, clean them one by one from the pumpkin “gut”.
When you have cleaned all of the pumpkin seeds and placed them into the Mason Jar, fill it up with filtered water and add 1 Tbsp of salt.
Close the lid and mix it all together. Place it on a Kitchen table and let it soak for a minimum of 3 hours up to as long as overnight.
Preheat the oven to 150 Celsius or 300 Fahrenheits
Once your Pumpkin Seeds has been soaked, empty the jar through the sieve and sprinkle with a bit of Extra Virgin Olive oil and salt. If you do not want them salty at all, you can wash them with cold water once again and dry accordingly. Dry the remaining moisture with the paper towel.
Once dried, spread them on a baking tray covered with a Parchment paper and bake for 20 Minutes on 150 Celsius or 300 Fahreheits. After that reduce the temperature to 100 Celsius or 200 Fahrenheits and roast another 2 Hours until they are crunchy and baked.

Notes

General rule - 100 grams of pepitas equals 1 Tablespoon of salt.
Soaking - soak them in Nut Milk for additional flavor if you wish.
No time to soak - boil the seeds for about 10 minutes together with a spoon of salt.
Unsalted pumpkin seeds - simply wash your pumpkins after soaking them.
Nutritions - With regards to the Nutrition Information, I was not able to find data for the whole shelled pumpkin seeds. So went with my own calculation of having
100 grams / 1,5 Cup - 500 pieces pumpkin seeds - 1000 pieces Pepitas - 50 grams of Nutrition Data
