How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds
The big orange pumpkins or white ones that people tend to use for carving are not particularly good eating - they have a high water content which makes them relatively easy to carve but means they lose out on flavour.  If you are wanting to cook one then it is highly recommended that you cut it into wedges, no need to peel, and roast it first.  This drives off much of the water and intensifies the flavour.  Scrape the roasted flesh from the rind and use in soup or pumpkin pie etc...

The seeds are usually discarded, but hold it right there! Jamie Oliver has a suggestion for you...
