How to prepare fresh pumpkin seeds for roasting: Scoop out the seeds from a pumpkin and remove as much pulp as possible. In a colander, rinse the seeds thoroughly, rubbing off any remaining pulp. Transfer the seeds to paper towels and scatter them in a single layer. Let dry at room temperature for at least 4 hours or up to overnight before roasting.
