Pumpkin seeds
Celtic salt to taste
Chili powder (optional)

Scoop the seeds from a fresh medium-sized pumpkin. Remove all pulp, and place the seeds in a strainer; rinse. Arrange the seeds on a lightly oiled baking sheet in a single layer; spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt, chili powder, and garlic powder. Bake at 250 to 300 degrees for ½ to 1½ hours or until seeds are light brown and crispy. Check often while baking, stirring occasionally.
