I don’t know where I read this, but I saw that it helps to soak pumpkin seeds in salted water before you roast them. Maybe that would help get the gunk off of them?
I’m going to try this method: soak the seeds in salted water for 2 hours, then dry them on paper towels overnight. I will then toast them with salt (maybe some spices too) and olive oil according to whatever instructions I can find on the internet. This will be the first time I roast pumpkin seeds, so who knows if they will turn out decently or not…
Rockergirl, if you stopped by Pathfinder tonight for their pumpkin carving event I’m sure you could get TONS of seeds from people there.
