Roasted Pumpkin Seeds (3 different ways!!)

This is one of my favorite times of the year!  Cooler weather, family, carving pumpkins, roasting pumpkin seeds.  I've always roasted pumpkin seeds the same way, sprinkle a little salt on them and in the oven they go.  This year, I decided to try something different.  I put together recipes for roasted pumpkin seeds, 3 different ways!  Save those yummy seeds, don't let them go to waste!
