Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Rinse the raw pumpkin seeds under cold water to remove any pulp.
Pat the seeds dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
If using, add cayenne pepper and honey for extra flavor.
Toss the mixture until all seeds are evenly coated.
Spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once golden brown, remove from the oven and let cool.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and enjoy!
