Sweet and Salty Pumpkin Seeds

I've never made pumpkin seeds before, because I just didn't know if I liked them or not.  So, this time around when it's pumpkin carving time, I decided to give it a try.  I pre-heated the oven to 275 and spread the seeds from my scary pumpkin glowing away in the background.  With the seeds in a thin layer on the baking sheet, I took salt and generously sprinkled every seed.  Then I took about 3 tablespoons of sugar and about 1 tablespoon on pumpkin pie spice and showered that on the salty seeds.  I baked them for about 20 minutes, took them out and stirred them a bit.  After that, I turned the oven up to 325 and baked them until moderately crunchy.  I let them cool and tasted them (just to make sure I like them ;).  Well, turns out, these are pretty good, I think every year I'm going to end up roasting some pumpkin seeds from my goofy little pumpkins!
