1. Scoop out the seeds and pulp from the pumpkin. Separate the pulp from the seeds and discard the pulp.

2. Rinse the seeds in a large colander under cold running water, removing any remaining pulp strings.

3. Place seeds, a small amount at a time, onto paper towels to dry.

4. Spread seeds on a large baking sheet and allow to finish air-drying for about an hour.

5. When seeds are dry, toss them in a large bowl with the vegetable oil to coat well and sprinkle liberally with salt.

6. Spread into a thin layer on the baking sheet and place in a 350 F oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring every few minutes to prevent burning.

7. Remove from oven and allow to cool before serving.
