How do you like your pumpkin seeds?

One of my Halloween childhood memories is of my mom toasting pumpkin seeds and all of us kids devouring them. I've found there are a lot of recipes out there for toasting and seasoning pumpkin seeds. Here's what we did...
Rinse the pumpkin seeds. Boil them in salty water. Coat cookie sheet with veggie oil and lay seeds on cookie sheet. Place in oven preheated to 400 degrees. Seeds should be toasted and ready for a final salt sprinkle in about 25 minutes.
Pretty basic. The kids were excited about toasting the seeds and even helped sift through the pumpkin to extract every seed possible. But in the end it looks like I'm the only one in the family who likes toasted pumpkin seeds!
What's your recipe for toasted pumpkin seeds?

The pumpkin seeds taste like pistachios with salt. I kind of like them with salt.
