Community Answer
You should cook the seeds for about 20-30 minutes, in a 375 degree Fahrenheit preheated oven. Unless you are doing the sweet and spicy seeds, then preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Article SummaryX
To bake pumpkin seeds, preheat your oven to 375 °F and rinse your pumpkin seeds in a colander. On a baking sheet, spread out the seeds evenly and cover them with olive oil. To season your seeds, sprinkle them with salt before placing the tray in the oven. Cook for 10 minutes, stir, and then cook for another 10-20 minutes until they're all done. If you’d like a different taste, you can follow these steps but add pepper as well as salt, and cook the seeds for 10-15 minutes instead of 20-30 minutes.
