Rinse pumpkin seeds under cold water to remove pulp.

Pat seeds dry with a towel to remove excess moisture.

In a bowl, combine pumpkin seeds with olive oil and salt.

Add garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper to the bowl.

Toss the mixture until the seeds are evenly coated.

Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Remove from the oven when seeds are golden brown and fragrant.

Let cool before serving.
