Scoop out the seeds from the pumpkin.
Place the pumpkin seeds in a colander and run under water to rinse and separate the seeds from the everything else.
Place a large pot on the stove, add the pumpkin seeds and half the salt to the pot.
Bring water to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove the pumpkin seeds from the heat and use a colander to drain the water.
In a large bowl add the boiled pumpkin seeds, olive oil and salt. Mix everything to coat all of the pumpkin seeds.
On a large baking sheet pour the pumpkin seeds in a single layer.
Bake on the top rack until the seeds begin to brown 5-20 minutes. It depends on the size of the seeds and the heat of your oven how long it will take the pumpkin seds to brown.
Keep an eye on the pumpkin seeds so they don't get over toasted.
When nicely browned, remove the pan from the oven and let cool on a rack.
